How to recover your lost data in three steps
To recover deleted videos/photos from your computer, you can check the Recycle Bin, restore from backups, or use data recovery software like EaseUS to scan the disk, preview, and recover files. Choose the method that best suits your situation.
Deleting files is a common action when using a computer, and sometimes we accidentally delete important data, such as local videos or photos. So, how can you recover these deleted files? This guide will walk you through several effective methods to restore deleted videos/photos on your computer, helping you easily retrieve lost files. Let’s dive into the steps.
Method 1: Check the Recycle Bin
When you delete videos/photos from your computer, they are usually moved to the Recycle Bin. To recover them, open the Recycle Bin on your desktop and look for the deleted files. Once you find the target videos/photos, you can either drag them to your desktop or right-click and select Restore.
Method 2: Restore from Backups
Many users habitually back up important videos/photos to cloud storage or external devices like external hard drives. If your files are deleted, you can restore them from these backups.
Method 3: Use Professional Software
If you don’t have a backup and the files are no longer in the Recycle Bin, don’t worry—you can still recover them using professional data recovery software. There are many data recovery tools available, but we recommend XRecovery. It can easily recover videos/photos lost due to deletion, formatting, emptied Recycle Bin, partition loss, or RAW partitions. Simply scan the disk with the software to locate the lost files. You can preview the files for free before proceeding with the recovery. Here’s a step-by-step guide to recovering deleted videos/photos using XRecovery:
Launch the Recovery Software
* Open XRecovery data recovery software. * Select the location or device where the videos/photos were originally stored. * Click Scan.
Locate the Deleted Videos/Photos
After the scan completes, click Filter by File Type on the left and select Videos/Photos. Double-click the found files to preview their contents in a pop-up window.
Select and Recover
Choose the videos/photos you want to restore. Click Recover to save the files to your PC or another secure storage device.
Accidentally deleting local videos/photos on your computer can be frustrating, but this guide provides three effective methods to recover them: checking the Recycle Bin, restoring from backups, or using professional data recovery software like XRecovery. Choose the method that best fits your situation and regain access to your important files with ease.
