On Microsoft Windows systems, user files are stored under hard disk drive that is secondary data storage device. Sometimes, you may accidentally delete some of your important documents and empty the Recycle Bin. In such kind of instance, file recovery software will help you to get back all the deleted files from the hard disk drive.
Files that are stored on hard disk drive may get deleted or loss due to various situations such as files deleted from the Recycle Bin, files that have been deleted using any of the shortcut methods like by pressing Shift + Delete keys, files deleted using Move or Cut command, or files deleted from DOS command prompt etc. Let us briefly give explanation about few major case scenarios in which loss of files on the hard disk drive can be occurred.
- Files deleted from Recycle Bin: On Microsoft Windows systems, operating system locates the deleted files and folders into Recycle Bin. Suppose user wants to restore the deleted files, Recycle Bin provides the restore option for restoring the deleted files to their original locations. If you have accidentally deleted the files from Recycle Bin then there are chances to losing the files on hard disk drive.
- Files deleted while antivirus scanning: When you scan the drive with updated antivirus software, there are chances to files infected by computer viruses get delete.
- Too large to fit in the Recycle Bin: As I said above Windows locates the deleted files and folders into Recycle Bin. Sometimes, the deleted file is too large to fit in the Recycle Bin or Recycle Bin is full then deleted file bypasses the Recycle Bin. However, this may lead to loss of files on the hard disk drive.
- Files deleted from a USB flash drive: Suppose you have connected the pen drive to your PC and accidentally deleted few essential files on it. However, files deleted on other storage devices that are connected to the computer will not be moved to Recycle Bin. This situation may cause the loss of files on USB flash drive.
- Files deleted when you press “Shift + Delete” keys: If you press the Shift + Delete keys on a selected file or several files then deleted files bypasses the Recycle Bin.
- Files erased when ‘Cut and Paste’ command has been used: Incomplete or improper execution of ‘Cut and Paste’ command on files may lead to loss of files. While transferring the files using this command, if you accidentally press the cancel button or process stops because of power failure then there may be chances of losing the files.
