Backup
Here’s how you can recover deleted data or files from the PC:
Restore the previous version:
In the Windows operating system, there is built-in functionality within the file explorer to recover lost files. You can recover your deleted data or files by restoring a previous version of the folder. Once your file gets deleted from the system, the space covered by that file is cleared and is marked as free space available for saving other things. But your computer will not overwrite that space until it has no other option available. As soon as you realize that a file needs to be restored it is important to not download or save anything at that time so your files space is not overwritten. Quickly restore the folder where the files were located. You can do this by right-clicking the location where your file was stored and selecting restoring the previous version in the drop-down menu. It’s as easy as that!
