To answer these important questions, we have put together a guide on how you can undelete files in Windows 10 to prevent you from having to put up with the stress of lost data.

How Does Undeleting Work?

Before we move on to how to undelete files in Windows 10, let us address a common issue regarding data recovery first – how does undeleting actually work? When you delete a file from your hard drive, it does not get destroyed/deleted from the drive itself but instead it becomes unreferenced i.e. no address/location points to the data anymore. Because of this, the delete files become invisible and appear to be "deleted" from the computer system. This means that the data that you delete is still physically present on the hard drive until it is overwritten by new data.

This is why it is essential that you stop using your computer system, especially saving new data, after you have accidentally deleted files from it to prevent it from overwriting the data. If you have deleted files and wish to recover them, the first thing you need to do is to stop doing anything on the system and then follow the steps that are given below – this will maximize the chances of recovering all your data in its original form.

One of the most reliable methods for undelete files in Windows 10 is to make use of the powerful and renowned Windows 10 undelete tool, Deep Data Recovery. It is an intuitive and easy-to-use tool that you can use for undelete or unformat data from a number of storage devices – even after you have permanently deleted (Shift + Delete) the files!
