As you use your Windows computer, you create and delete files very frequently. Deleting any file means to remove it from your Windows hard drive that you think that is destroyed forever. Generally you remove the file, which is not useful. But, in some situations, this is required to 'undo' results of removing a file. The accidental deletions may happen more frequently than you imagine. In such cases, Windows Data Recovery is required, if you do not have complete backup in place.
One of the major advantages of FAT file system is that simplicity that it enables for the files to be retrieved, due to the way in which it removes file. Contrary to what several users believe, removing any file doesn't actually result into the contents of file being deleted from your hard drive. Instead, Windows places hex byte code “E5h” in first letter of file name. It is a specific tag, which tells the operating system “this file is deleted.” The disk space, which was previously used by this file is available to be used by other files, but the space is not cleared.
Over time, the “freed” disk clusters can be reused by new files or even existing files if their size increases. The windows data recovery is only possible until the file is being overwritten. When you create a file, a file system entry of each file is created in file system table. This entry contains a pointer to the memory address where the file is physically stored. Operating system read this entry to locate and access the file. After deletion of file, the file system pointer is removed and thus it become inaccessible.
However, when you remove a file from your Windows hard drive, it is generally possible to retrieve the file. There are several third-party windows data recovery software that can help to get your precious data back. When you run any tool immediately, it identifies and retrieve lost files in a folder.
If you do not use your computer between the time of file deletion and recovery attempt, more likely you can recover deleted file. But in case if you keep using the system and the hard drive is fairly full, the chances of successful recovery get decreased. The applications Recover Windows data in quick, safe, and easy way.
