How to get back the accidentally trashed files back?

[Lilbruz]

Another thing to keep in mind. Installing new software will increase the risk that your deleted files will be overwritten (the newly free space being used by the new software), so if you really want to get your files back, your best bet is to take out the hard drive, install the programs on a seperate PC and run them on that with the old hard drive plugged in with USB case for example.

Its a small chance that new software will overwrite JUST the part you need to restore, but its still a chance. And with a situation like this, you need all the luck you can get, so risking it wouldnt be ideal

I had good experience with TestDisk) on linux when I accidentally formatted my photo hard drive. Oops. :P

Go through this utility to get back all your data which has been removed. Use free trial version first, in trial version you are able to see preview of recover data.

The easiest way to recover lost files is to use some data recovery software. Installing it in a partition different from where the lost files were can avoid the risk of overwriting them. Perhaps Bitwar Data Recovery could work better here. It has a feature called Preview, which allows users to preview what files they can retrieve without charge. And it supports both mac and win systems.

Not people, it's a bot designed to advertise "Bitwar Data Recovery". Most likely it searches for threads on related subjects, where they spam posts like this

I know. Just a thin sliver of hope that it is a genuine poster that goofed instead of an adbot.

I used Minitool partition wizard, when i lost all my data on one of my old disk. it recovered about 85% of my data. I have used it a few times since and it has worked every time. Im running the pro version now, with i life time license
