Can you recover deleted files after emptying the recycle bin?
I also accidentally deleted important files when I emptied the Recycle Bin before, and I successfully recovered them with Aiseeesoft Data Recovery! It is easy to operate, has a fast scanning speed, and supports the recovery of multiple file types. If you encounter this situation, try it now, the sooner you recover, the higher the success rate!
I followed this tutorial:

The good news is, even though those files are technically marked as "gone," they're not immediately wiped from your drive. Instead, Windows just flags that space as available for new data, which means there’s still a chance to recover the files as long as they haven’t been overwritten yet.
It's not that difficult to retrieve lost files if you had File History or Backup and Restore (Windows 7) turned on beforehand. This guide walks you through how to use these built-in Windows tools to get your data back.

Windows File Recovery. It's a command-line tool from Microsoft that can help recover deleted files, including those removed from the Recycle Bin. It takes a bit more effort to use since it’s not a graphical interface, but it’s a solid option if you’re comfortable running a few commands. You can download it from the Microsoft Store.
