How to Recover Deleted Files from USB Drive for Free?

If you want to recover deleted files from USB without software, I find it almost impossible to do so, especially when it comes to checking the Recycle Bin. Since, the Recycle Bin only works for files that were deleted in Windows. If you delete something straight from your USB drive, it often bypasses the Recycle Bin entirely. I've totally been there: I accidentally delete a super important file from my USB, and I'm like, “No worries, I'll just check the Recycle Bin!” And then... blank.

Then there's the issue of the Recycle Bin getting full. If you've got a lot of files or don't empty the bin often, the older files start getting permanently deleted to make room for new ones. So, if that USB file was an older one, there's a good chance it won't even be in there anymore. You'd basically be wasting time looking for something that's just not there.

And let's not forget about file formats. Certain files, especially ones saved in specific applications or with unusual extensions, might not even end up in the Recycle Bin.
