How to recover deleted files on Windows

Windows file recovery guides
Deleted a file, emptied the Recycle Bin, or lost files on removable storage? Start with the checks that fit your situation before scanning.
These guides explain recovery options, not a guaranteed recovery result. Finding a file name does not prove that its contents can be recovered.

Can you recover files after emptying the Recycle Bin?
An empty bin removes the normal Restore option. Backups or surviving file data may still offer a way back.
Recover lost files from a USB drive or SD card on Windows
Separate accidental deletion from a connection problem or damaged device before attempting recovery.
Ready to inspect your drive?
Downloading, scanning, and browsing are free. Saving recovered files may require a license. Install on a different physical drive from the one that lost data, and save recovered files elsewhere.
