Possible to recover deleted files from external hard drive on Windows 11 PC?
I recently deleted a few important files from my external hard drive while connecting to my Windows 11 PC. These files are crucial for my work, and I need to recover them as soon as possible. I've heard there are various methods to recover deleted files, but I'm not sure which one would be the best and most reliable for my situation.
I've tried checking the Recycle Bin, but the files are not there. I'm considering using software like the built in Windows File Recovery but I would love to hear from those who have successfully recovered deleted files from external hard drive on Windows 11. Any step-by-step instructions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Once you've realized you've deleted important files, stop using the external hard drive right away. The more you use it, the higher the chance that the deleted files will get overwritten, and that's a nightmare.
Recovering deleted files from external hard drive can take some time, especially if you have a lot of data on the drive. Check out this post that helped me last week:
