When a file is deleted either intentionally or accidentally, it does not mean that it is gone for ever. Data recovery tools can always help you retrieve lost/deleted data with ease. Many users are unaware of the fact, that when a file is deleted from their PC , the operating system just marks the file for deletion,and does not actually wipe out the data in that file. Hence, the file is no longer visible, but the data is still recoverable.
Files and folders may be deleted from the hard drive due to do various reasons like,
- Accidental File / Folder Deletion
