The files on your hard drive are probably
very valuable to you. Not to mention, files or even whole partitions can be
accidently deleted in some cases. If that happens, there will be a need to
restore deleted files. There are many options available out there. However,
none of them are as easy to use or as featureful as Clever Files’ Disk Drill.

The first thing you should do if you have
accidentally deleted anything, is to try restoring it from the recycle bin. If
you already cleared the recycle bin or have deleted a full partition, you can
try using Disk Drill. In this situation, you should be avoiding tasks that
performs writes to the hard drive to avoid overwriting the data. It is recommended
that you boot from another hard drive as this will make overwriting your data less
likely.

Once finding the
appropriate file, you can simply select Undelete and the location to save the
file. If none of the displayed files are what you are looking for, you can try Deep
Scan which scans every byte of your hard drive. This will take more time but is
more likely to find your file. Once the file you require is found by the Deep
Scan, click the restore button and the recovery process for the data will begin.

Prevention is
always better than cure, it is always better to protect your important files
from accidental deletions. Disk Drill has another feature just for that, the
Recovery Vault. It can be enabled to protect your files from being deleted by
keeping a backup copy of it. The software is able to mark deleted files and can
restore them at a moment’s notice. You can even use it for only a few folders
with only your important files, so unnecessary backup files don’t clog up your
hard drive.
