您(Did)是否最终意外删除了 PC 上的文件或文件夹?还是您在故意按下Delete键后改变了主意?
我们不能承诺任何事情。但首先,您必须停止做任何其他可能导致磁盘驱动器写入新数据的事情。仅此一项就降低了在Windows 10中成功恢复已删除文件的几率。
有几种方法可以恢复数据。他们可能会也可能不会最终为您工作。但是,只要您足够快或手头有一些备份,就没有理由无法取回您的文件。
首先查看最明显的地方——回收站(Recycle Bin)。
提示:(Tip:)如果您要在 Windows 10 中恢复已删除的系统(system )文件,最好执行系统重置(perform a system reset)。
挖掘回收站
只要您没有永久删除任何文件或文件夹,您几乎总能在回收站(Recycle Bin)中找到它们。您可以通过选择Windows 10 桌面上的回收站图标来访问它。(Recycle Bin)
通常,您会在回收站(Recycle Bin)中看到大量垃圾。如果找不到要还原的项目,请尝试使用窗口右上角的“搜索回收站”字段进行搜索。(Search Recycle Bin)
为了让事情变得更简单,请选择View选项卡并选择Details。然后,您可以使用原始位置(Original Location)和删除日期(Date Deleted)列按存储位置和日期对项目进行排序。
找到要恢复的文件或文件夹后,右键单击并选择恢复(Restore)。那应该把它放回原来的位置。
如果在回收站(Recycle Bin)中找不到已删除的项目,原因如下:
- 您将其永久删除。
- 它太大了,放不下回收站(Recycle Bin)。
- Storage Sense或第三方维护工具最终清空了回收站(Recycle Bin)。
使用文件历史记录恢复
您是否在 Windows 10 计算机上设置了文件历史记录备份?(File History)如果是这样,只要它们包含在以前的备份中,您就可以轻松恢复已删除的文件和文件夹。
首先连接包含文件历史记录(File History)备份的外部驱动器。然后,打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer),导航到已删除文件或文件夹的位置,然后选择主页选项卡下的(Home)历史记录(History)图标。
那应该打开“文件历史记录”(File History)窗口。您可以使用屏幕底部的箭头查看目录的快照。
找到已删除的项目后,选择它并使用绿色的恢复(Restore)图标来恢复它。冲洗(Rinse)并重复您想要取回的任何其他文件或文件夹。
使用“备份和恢复”恢复
Windows 10 还允许您恢复使用Windows 7 中的旧备份和还原工具(Backup and Restore tool from Windows 7)创建的备份中包含的已删除文件和文件夹。然而,与File History不同,恢复数据确实需要一些工作。
首先,连接外部备份驱动器并通过在开始(Start)菜单上搜索控制面板打开(control panel)控制面板。(Control Panel)然后,选择Backup and Restore (Windows 7)选项并选择Restore my files。
在显示的“恢复文件”(Restore Files)窗口中,您可以使用“搜索”(Search )按钮在要恢复的备份中查找和添加文件和文件夹。或者,您可以选择浏览文件(Browse for files )或浏览文件夹(Browse for folders )按钮来挖掘备份并手动添加它们。
完成后,选择下一步(Next),然后选择将文件还原到原始位置或其他目录。最后,选择恢复(Restore)。
检查云存储垃圾箱
您是否使用OneDrive或Google Drive等云存储来同步文件和文件夹?每当您删除 PC 上的原件时,大多数服务往往会删除服务器端副本,但您仍然可以使用相关 Web 应用程序中的垃圾箱功能将其取回。
例如,如果您最终永久删除了设置为同步到OneDrive的目录中的任何文件或文件夹,您可以登录OneDrive.com并选择回收站(Recycle bin)以查找并恢复已删除的服务器端副本。您通常有 30 天的时间来执行此操作。
使用文件恢复工具
如果删除的文件位于HDD或硬盘驱动器上,您可以使用文件恢复工具(use a file recovery tool)将它们恢复。但是,这只有在您没有执行任何密集的磁盘相关活动时才有效,这些活动可能会在此期间覆盖相关的文件集群。
但这就是问题所在;单独安装文件恢复工具可以永久清除您要恢复的数据。如果删除的文件太重要而不能丢失,您必须认真考虑移除HDD并将其作为辅助驱动器连接到另一台计算机上,然后再使用恢复工具对其进行扫描。如果您以前没有这样做过,请寻求专业帮助。(Get)
也就是说,我们建议使用Recuva来完成手头的工作。它是免费使用的,可让您扫描特定目录中的各种文件类型,带有深度扫描(Deep Scan)功能(这需要时间但会产生更多结果),并通知您已删除项目的可恢复状态。然后,您可以选择要恢复的一个或多个文件,并使用“恢复(Recover )”选项来检索它们。
或者,如果您更喜欢基于命令的方法来恢复已删除的文件,则可以使用Windows 文件恢复。(Windows File Recovery)但是,我们的测试没有产生好的结果(our tests didn’t yield good results),所以您可能想跳过它。
另一方面,固态驱动器 ( SSD ) 的功能不同。(SSDs)Windows 10 使用称为 TRIM(Windows 10 uses a feature called TRIM)(可提高SSD性能)的功能来永久擦除已删除的文件和文件夹。仅此一项就使使用文件恢复工具毫无意义,但请随意尝试。
恢复系统映像
Windows 10 系统映像(Windows 10 system image)可以包含系统分区或整个磁盘驱动器的完整快照。如果您之前创建了一个,则恢复它可以帮助您恢复已删除的文件,前提是它们是其中的一部分。
但是,系统映像通常用于解决与驱动器相关的严重问题,并且通常需要很长时间才能完成,因此只有在必要时才继续。此外,您将丢失创建时不存在的所有文件,因此请记住在继续之前备份它们。
要恢复系统映像,请转到开始(Start )>设置(Settings )>更新和安全(Update & Security)>恢复(Recovery )并选择立即重新启动(Restart Now)以启动到Windows 恢复环境(Windows Recovery Environment)。然后,选择疑难解答(Troubleshoot )>高级选项(Advanced Options)>系统映像恢复(System Image Recovery)并从外部驱动器中选择系统映像以启动恢复过程。
还有什么?
如果上述方法都没有帮助,并且您也没有任何第三方文件备份(third-party file backups)可以使用,那么是时候访问文件恢复专家了。无法保证您可以取回数据,但如果检索那些已删除的文件非常重要,那么这是您唯一的选择。为了最大限度地提高您的机会,请立即停止使用您的计算机,直到您完成此操作。
How to Restore Deleted Files in Windows 10
Did you end up deleting a file or а fоlder on your PC bу acсident? Or did you сhange your mind after hitting the Delete key on purpose?
We can’t promise anything. But first, you must stop doing anything else that can cause the disk drive to write new data. That alone decreases the odds of successfully restoring deleted files in Windows 10.
There are several methods to go about recovering data. They may or may not end up working for you. But as long as you were quick enough or have a few backups at hand, there’s no reason you can’t get your files back.
Begin by looking at the most obvious of places—the Recycle Bin.
Tip: If you’re looking to restore deleted system files in Windows 10, it’s best to perform a system reset instead.
Dig Around the Recycle Bin
As long as you didn’t delete any files or folders permanently, you can almost always find them inside the Recycle Bin. You can get to it by selecting the Recycle Bin icon on the Windows 10 desktop.
Typically, you’ll see lots of junk inside the Recycle Bin. If you can’t locate the item that you want to restore, try searching for it using the Search Recycle Bin field to the top-right of the window.
To make things a bit easier, select the View tab and pick Details. You can then use the Original Location and Date Deleted columns to sort items by storage location and date.
Once you’ve located a file or folder that you want to get back, right-click and select Restore. That should put it back in its original location.
If you can’t find a deleted item inside the Recycle Bin, here are a few reasons why:
- You deleted it permanently.
- It was too big to fit the Recycle Bin.
- Storage Sense or a third-party maintenance tool ended up emptying the Recycle Bin.
Restore Using File History
Do you have File History backups set up on your Windows 10 computer? If so, you can recover deleted files and folders easily as long as they were included in a previous backup.
Start by connecting the external drive that contains the File History backup. Then, open File Explorer, navigate to the location of a deleted file or folder and select the History icon under the Home tab.
That should open the File History window. You can look through snapshots of the directory using the arrows to the bottom of the screen.
Once you’ve located a deleted item, select it and use the green-colored Restore icon to recover it. Rinse and repeat for any other files or folders that you want to get back.
Restore Using “Backup and Restore”
Windows 10 also allows you to recover deleted files and folders that were included within backups created using the older Backup and Restore tool from Windows 7. Unlike with File History, however, restoring your data does involve a bit of work.
First, connect your external backup drive and open the Control Panel by searching for control panel on the Start menu. Then, pick the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) option and select Restore my files.
On the Restore Files window that shows up, you can use the Search button to find and add files and folders inside the backup that you want to recover. Or, you can select the Browse for files or Browse for folders buttons to dig into the backup and add them manually.
After you’re done, select Next and choose between restoring the files to the original location or a different directory. Finally, select Restore.
Check Cloud Storage Trash
Do you use cloud storage such as OneDrive or Google Drive to sync files and folders? Most services tend to remove the server-side copies whenever you delete the originals on your PC, but you can still use the trash feature within the relevant web apps to get them back.
For example, if you ended up permanently deleting any file or folder within a directory that was set to sync to OneDrive, you can sign into OneDrive.com and select Recycle bin to find and recover the deleted server-side copies. You typically have 30 days to do that.
Use a File Recovery Tool
If the deleted files resided on an HDD or hard disk drive, you can use a file recovery tool to get them back. However, that will only work if you didn’t perform any intensive disk-related activities that could’ve overwritten the relevant file clusters in the meantime.
But here’s the catch; installing the file recovery tool alone can permanently wipe out the data that you’re looking to recover. If the deleted files are way too important to lose, you must seriously consider removing the HDD and hooking it up as a secondary drive on another computer before scanning it with a recovery tool. Get professional help if you haven’t done that before.
That said, we recommend using Recuva for the job at hand. It’s free to use, lets you scan various file types in specific directories, comes with a Deep Scan feature (which takes time but comes up with more results), and notifies you of the recoverable state of a deleted item. You can then select the file or files that you want to restore and use the Recover option to retrieve them.
Alternatively, you can use Windows File Recovery if you prefer a command-based approach to restore deleted files. However, our tests didn’t yield good results so you may want to skip it.
Solid-state drives (SSDs), on the other hand, function differently. Windows 10 uses a feature called TRIM (which improves SSD performance) to permanently erase deleted files and folders. That alone makes using a file recovery tool pointless, but feel free to give it a go.
Restore a System Image
A Windows 10 system image can contain a complete snapshot of the system partition or the entire disk drive. If you had one created a while back, restoring it can help you recover deleted files provided that they were a part of it.
However, a system image is usually reserved for troubleshooting serious drive-related issues and often takes a long time to complete, so only go ahead if you have to. Also, you will lose any files that weren’t around when you created it, so do remember to back them up before you proceed.
To restore a system image, go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and select Restart Now to boot into the Windows Recovery Environment. Then, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Image Recovery and pick the system image from an external drive to initiate the recovery procedure.
What Else?
If none of the methods above helped, and if you also don’t have any third-party file backups to fall back onto, then it’s time to visit a file recovery specialist. There are no guarantees that you can get your data back, but if it’s extremely important to retrieve those deleted files, that’s the only option you have left. To maximize your chances, stop using your computer immediately until you’ve done that.
