Explorer for windows 10

Post by bureau.jacques »

In Explorer for Windows 10, if you delete a file too quickly, is it possible to restore it easily?

Welcome to Eileen's Lounge, even if you've been a member for quite a while!

The free utility Recuva can help recover deleted files. If you don't have it already, it's best to download the portable version to a USB stick or drive, and to run it from there. That way, you are less likely to overwrite the deleted file. The portable version can be downloaded from https://www.piriform.com/recuva/builds" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Best wishes,
Hans

I have to assume that you are referring to SHIFT+Del, which does not move it to the Recycle bin? If you just press delete, you can of course restore it from the bin if you have not cleaned it out.
