I accidentally emptied my Recycle Bin once, and I needed to retrieve some important files. I used a recovery tool called Aisesoft Data Recovery for Windows, and it worked very well.

This software scans deeply and can recover many files that seemed to be permanently lost. If you have similar problems, I sincerely recommend trying it, which is really satisfactory.

Eliyorp Windows 11 has a built-in feature called "Previous Versions," which can help you restore files from backups made by File History or System Restore points. This is quite efficient way to recover permanently deleted files on Windows 11 or Windows 10 after recycle bin.
- Navigate to the folder that contained the deleted files.
- Right-click the folder and select "Restore previous versions."
- In the "Previous Versions" tab, you’ll see a list of available versions.
- Select a version that contains the files you want to restore.
- Click on "Restore" to recover the files to their original location.
- Alternatively, you can click "Open" to browse the previous version and manually copy the files.
