Missing files

Hello

I accidentaly deleted some folders from my E:drive. I realised what I had
done, opened the recycle bin, and restored them.

All Ok except for the E:Videos folder, which did not appear in the recycle
bin !


It's not a disaster, as I have the folder backed up, but I'm puzzled ?

Ideas pls ?

Thanks

KK

Files over a certain size are deleted immediately, and don't go via the
Recycle Bin (which has a limited capacity).?

OK thanks, so would I have lost them forever ?

Not necessarily. Deleted files are not erased, those sectors on the drive
are marked as available space for the OS to write to. The longer you use the
machine following the deletion (or emptying the recycle bin) the greater the
chance of an overwrite to those sectors. If a file is lost in this manner,
immediately shut the machine down. Remove the hard drive and place it in a
USB enclosure or slave it into a host computer. Then use a data recovery
program such as Recuva on the host machine to scan your drive to see if the
files can be recovered. Don't install the recovery software to your machine
because the install may use some of the sectors that contain the data you are
trying to recover. Once those sectors have been overwritten, your data will
be gone for good.

Well, I would like add here something more interesting. Although the
video is not available in recycle bin but still it is recoverable untill
and unless they got overwritten by other data .

You can try a third aprty data recovery tool like Stellar Phoenix
Windows data recovery software V4.1
