Can I recover permanently deleted videos from pc Windows 11?
- Jan 14, 2025
For tech savvy, I suggest using the Aiseeesoft Data Recovery tool for recovering deleted videos on Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC. It focuses on recovering individual files, such as videos, from damaged or formatted drives.

Using Windows File Recovery to recover permanently deleted videos is indeed a free option. But run Windows File Recovery requires patience, as the tool needs time to scan and recover files. The process can take hours, depending on the size of the drive, the amount of data to be recovered, and the performance of your computer. The main drawback is that Windows File Recovery operates in the command line. If you're not comfortable with typing commands, navigating directories, and understanding the nuances of file systems, this might not be the tool for you.
If you're not comfortable with the command-line interface, Microsoft offers another option: the Recovery Console.
What is Microsoft Recovery Console?
The Recovery Console is a command-line interface that provides advanced recovery features, including the ability to recover deleted files, format disks, and more. You can access it from the Windows 11 installation media or by booting in Safe Mode.
How to recover permanently deleted videos via Microsoft Recovery Console:
- Download the Windows 11 installation media (ISO file).
- Burn the ISO file to a USB drive or create a bootable CD/DVD.
- Boot from the USB drive or CD/DVD.
- Select "Repair your computer" and enter the Recovery Console.
- Use the chkdsk command to check the drive's consistency.
- Run the winfr command (as mentioned earlier) to recover deleted video from PC.
