Generally, when files are deleted from the user interface, they end up in the $Recycle.bin folder. For convenience, this folder is provided as a shortcut on the desktop. So, in case you need to recover deleted files, all you need to do is go to this folder and right click on the file you need. Then click \u2018Restore\u2019 to restore your files.<\/p>\n
However, in some cases, you may not find deleted files in the Recycle bin. This usually happens when the size of the file exceeds a certain limit or if you have pressed the Shift key along with Delete and in a few other cases, which we will see in this blog post.<\/p>\n
In these scenarios, although you don\u2019t find the files in the Recycle Bin, it is not that they are nowhere on the computer. They are still present somewhere on your hard drive, but with a deleted tag on it, hence it will not be visible on the user interface. But don\u2019t worry, these files can also be recovered using the right tools, which will also be covered in this article.<\/p>\n
Precautions to avoid deleting files permanently<\/strong><\/p>\n While deleting a file, using the Shift key along with Delete will permanently delete the file. In this case, the deleted file will bypass the Recycle bin, hence you won\u2019t find it there. To avoid this possibility, always make sure you are not using the \u2018Shift\u2019 key while deleting a file.<\/p>\n Unlike your internal hard drives, USB flash drives don\u2019t have the Recycle Bin. So, files deleted from the USB will have their files deleted permanently. If you\u2019re wondering why your files are getting deleted permanently, well, it is probably because you are deleting files from the USB stick.<\/p>\n Hence, it is advisable that you make a backup before deleting files from your USB flash drive.<\/p>\n For a deleted file to be stored in the recycle bin, it should be within the size limit of the Recycle Bin. If this is not the case, the file will be permanently deleted.<\/p>\n If you always work with large files and you wish that these files be stored in the Recycle Bin when deleted, it is possible to customize the size of allowance in the Recycle Bin. To change these settings:<\/p>\n If in the Recycle Bin properties, the option \u2018Don\u2019t move files to the recycle bin\u2019 is selected, then Recycle Bin won\u2019t save deleted files. In that case, you will obviously not find deleted files in the Recycle Bin.<\/p>\n To avoid this as a possibility, just uncheck the option \u2018Don\u2019t move files to the Recycle Bin\u2019.<\/p>\n These tips should help you avoid the problem of deleted files bypassing the Recycle Bin and getting deleted permanently.
