How to recover a deleted file in Windows
Check the Recycle Bin, backups and Windows history after deleting a file by mistake.
Check the Recycle Bin
Open it, locate the file, right-click it and choose Restore.
Review cloud or Windows backups
OneDrive, File History or another backup may hold an earlier copy.
Stop writing to the drive
If the file is important and no backup exists, avoid creating new data before using specialist recovery software.
Understand Retrio’s role
Retrio finds files that still exist in indexed folders; it does not recover physically deleted data.
