How can I recover files from a formatted hard drive?

It is highly possible for recovering data from formatted hard drive, but the success depends on several factors such as the type of formatting, data overwriting, etc. Below are the specific steps:

Step 1: After formatting, avoid continuing to use the hard drive in case the new data overwrites the original data and reduces the recovery success rate.

Step 3: Select the formatted hard drive in the software. Select ‘Deep Scan’ or ‘Full Scan’ to find more recoverable files.

Step 4: Once the scan is complete, preview the found files and confirm whether they are recoverable or not.

Step 6: After recovery, check whether the files are complete and usable.
