We’ve all been there…that horrible situation when you can’t find a file you somehow deleted a file from your computer. It (and that dreaded blank screen) is the worst, but there are things you can do that might save the day. Here are some tips for recovering lost computer files:
First, let me say that I don’t mean to admonish anyone, but if you don’t already back up your files, you really need to start. I mean, what could be better than the peace of mind that comes along with knowing you have that lost file saved on your external hard drive or the cloud? Not much!
Also, don’t forget that Windows automatically saves files, so you can also try to restore any lost data from your Windows backup. Just don’t get too complacent because, although it could save your tooshy, it isn’t a replacement for properly backing up important files yourself.
There are other places to check that could have you breathing a sigh of relief. You can also check your Recycle Bin and Trash.
Additionally, tools such as Windows File Recovery and File History can be helpful if you need to restore deleted data.
Plus, if you just can’t seem to find your lost file and you need professional help with that or any other computer issue, you can always come to the trusted computer professionals at Computer “A” Services for assistance.
