Deleted File Recovery

  Files which are permanently deleted(as specified by Windows) can be recovered using third party recovery software.I'll take Recuva as an example to show how such software can be used.
  1.Start off by specifying the type of file:

2.Then specify the location of the file:

 3.To make a thorough search enable deep scan;a similar option will be available in many softwares.(a deep scan is done if the file is not recovered through the normal scan)

 4.The software will scan the disk;after this is done click on Switch to advanced mode.
This option will allow to search for individual files or file types and also watch a preview of  a file that is selected in the left panel.

 5.The software indicates whether a file is recoverable or not using different coloured icons.

  Green: recoverable

  Red: not recoverable

 6.For more search customisation click on options.
