How to Recover Deleted Files from Windows and Mac
How to Recover Deleted Files
Have you accidentally deleted your files from the Hard disk? Do you desperately want to recover them back? Well you need not panic!

In this post you will find a detailed information on how to recover the deleted files from your Windows PC or Mac.
Today there exists hundreds of data recovery tools and softwares on the market which boast to recover 100% of all the deleted files back in the original condition. But in reality most of these softwares are neither effective nor capable of recovering your files back.

We recommend the following softwares to recover the deleted files

How the File Deletion Process Works?
When you delete a file from your computer (or even from the recycle bin) the file is not actually deleted. Unlike what most people think, the file is not permanantly deleted or dropped from your hard disk. Let’s take an example of a book containing 50 pages. Suppose when you delete the page 25, assume that only the entry in the index which points to the page 25 is deleted and not actually the page 25 itself. Likewise when you delete a file from your hard disk, only the pointer which points to this file is removed and not actually the file itself. This file still exists intact and is 100% possible to recover it back in the original condition. In this condition the file becomes invisible and hence appears to have deleted.
What are the Chances of Recovering my Files Back?
Since the operating system doesn’t immediately re-use the space from the deleted files, it is most certainly possible to recover the deleted files back in 100% original condition. It may take up a very long time for those files to be completely deleted since the modern hard disks have ample capacity. Hence the chances are too less that the space from the deleted files are re-used immediately. So, it is really worth to try out the file recovery softwares like Stellar Data Recovery for Windows or Stellar Data Recover for Mac. Some files are reported to have recovered even after years of it’s deletion. However for the best results, it is recommended that you use the file recovery software as immediately as possible to recover your files.

Yes you need to buy the software before you can recover the deleted files. The trial version will always be limited
Yes you need to buy the full version although stellar phoenix provides a free demo version which confirms your data recovery and shows the recoverable files on preview. its great to see your recoverable files and then just save them and start resume recovery which recovers your data were you stops.Stellar Phoenix Mac which i used is awesome and total money saver and time saver as well.

This happends when some portion of the recovered data is misssing or corrupt. That is the reason you are advised to act asap when the files are deleted.

@ prem
You need to use a data recovery software to get back your deleted files. However there is no guarantee that your data will be restored by 100%. If it very important, then it is worth giving a try.
@ Kevin
It is possible to recover 100% of all your data using recovery softwares. However it all depends on the condition of the deleted files. If the files are in good recovery condition it works to 100%. If they are corrupted then you will have to settle down to what you recover!
