How to Recover Deleted Files When Disk Cleanup Empties The Recycle Bin

In the Windows systems, there is an inbuilt Disk Cleanup utility that scans the system to list the irrelevant files and allows you to remove them as well. These redundant files can be from temporary Internet files, temporary Windows files, downloaded program files, Recycle Bin, Offline files, etc.

By removing such files using this tool, you can speed up the performance of your system as there are fewer files that use the system resources. However, at times you may also lose important data if the Recycle Bin is emptied using this utility. There are no in-built tool to recover such files, so you need to use a third-party software to recover the deleted files.

Consider a practical example in which you have used Disk Cleanup to clean up some of the extra files in your computer. However, after you are through with the clean up, you realize that there were some important files in the Recycle Bin that you accidentally deleted and now they are gone. You are in distress now and do not know how to recover the deleted files.

These deleted files can be recovered if you are careful about few points. To start off, you should not create new file or move existing files to alternate locations in your system. The open secret behind this is that the deleted files are not actually deleted from the system and only the pointer, which tells the operating system about the location of the file, is deleted. And the file is very much there, and it continues to be there till you save another file at the same location, which, of course, is out of your control.

As already discussed in this article, deleted file recovery is very much possible. But to do that, you need to have an efficient third-party file recovery software to recover the deleted files. Such file recovery tools need to have non-destructive scanning mechanisms so that the files are not damaged during the file recovery.
