To increase the success rate of data recovery after deleteing files from external hard drive, it is crucial to stop using the drive immediately to avoid overwriting the deleted files. Avoid saving new data, running defragmentation, or performing any operations that could modify the disk.
Additionally, use data recovery software as soon as possible, as the chances of successful recovery decrease over time and with increased disk activity. Ensuring the drive remains in its current state maximizes the likelihood of retrieving the deleted files intact.
