Sometimes we do stuff on our computers that we don't actually mean to do. We press the wrong button or stop concentrating and then everything just goes wrong for us. A lot of the time this doesn't actually harm our machines but it can cause us headaches.
One of the most common mistakes made by computer users is to delete the wrong file. This is real easy to do. You might, for example, have been working on multiple versions of a specific document and decide to erase the versions that you no longer need. Next thing you know you've deleted the version you wanted to keep by accident!
This isn't, however, the end of the world and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go back and do all of your work again to get the document back up to scratch. The first thing you need to do here is to try and recover your document because the chances are it is still stored somewhere on your machine where you cannot find it without a bit of extra help.
Tip #1 -- Go to your Recycle Bin as the chances are your document has been sent there for storage before actual deletion. If you can see the relevant file there then all you have to do is to highlight it and then click on Restore. Your file will then go back to its original location as if nothing bad had happened to it!
Tip #2 -- If you find that you have already been real efficient and emptied your Recycle Bin then don't despair! This doesn't mean that your file has gone forever. It will be stored somewhere on your computer but it won't have the normal 'links' so you just have to figure out a different way of finding it. In most cases the easiest way to do this is to buy a software program that is designed to find lost and erased files. Load the software on to your machine, set it off and it will give you a list of deleted files and allow you to restore the ones that you want.
Tip #3 -- If things have gone a step further and/or if your file deletion occurred because of a physical problem with a component such as your hard disk then a software fix may work or it may not. If things are real bad and you cannot even get into your operating system never mind open any file then you may need to use a data recovery company or a computer expert to help you out here.
In the majority of cases there will be a fix for a deleted file problem. Sometimes this will simply take you a couple of minutes to sort out. Other times, you may need expert help to get your whole system up and running again. In either case, don't give up on finding your file until you absolutely have to as the chances are it's hiding somewhere on your PC! - 20765
