How to recover deleted file(s) and folder(s)?
When we delete a file it isn't actually deleted but only its entries are deleted. Please follow these steps to recover deleted file or folder. If the deleted files were in Recycle bin, then you can locate them in the "Recycled" folder formed in the tree structure after scanning operation. However the deleted files and folders inside the recycled folder will no longer have their original file names and will be displayed as Dk in the recycled folder. If the files were deleted using SHIFT+del, then these files and folders can be found in the directory where they were originally located. They are marked by a crossed-out file name.
