Accidentally delete something?

Oct 8th, 20101 Comment

Have you ever put something in the trash and emptied it only to realize that you deleted the wrong files and you don’t have a backup? Don’t panic. Your data is still recoverable if you follow the right steps.

Step 1: Don’t continue to use the computer. Even though your files were emptied from the trash, they are actually still there! They just aren’t visible anymore. But if you continue to use the computer and write to the Hard Drive, you can overwrite the files and lose them forever. (Note: If you did a “secure erase” the chances of getting the data back are not so good).

Step 2: Bring in your computer for Data Recovery. We can attempt to find your deleted files and put them back on your computer.
