Solution to recover accidentally Deleted Files or Data
OMG!! You have accidentally deleted a file that you wish to use further, instead of another that you actually wanted to delete. What’s more you have emptied the recycle bin as well! This is the common thing faced by almost all of us some or the other day.
Wondering what to do when Windows have no option to restore it? Well after the efforts of computer experts, no more worries. But before knowing the solution it would be worth noting that when we delete a file, Windows actually delete the reference to it and not the file itself. Of course it will use the space again when required.
This is how you can recover your lost data:
Download a free and simple utility called “Recuva”, to be pronounced as “Recover”. The tool is developed by the same team who developed “CCleaner” (another great tool to delete temporary files and clean out the registry).
Recuva is a fast program that can undelete the files including images, documents and many others. Adding to this, you can even find the specific deleted file (if you remember the name) using the search box and other files with similar names.
So, if you came this far reading the post, you should already be convinced that you need to grab my RSS feed, right?

Hi, I have downloaded the recuva software and tried on my system. But the recover files seem to be corrupted. When I open the files some different text is displayed in the file. So please suggest.

The only reason for that is the clusters where the files were stored in hard disks have been overwritten with some new data. You can also try deep scan but it takes more time.
