To recover deleted system files, we can start by checking the Recycle Bin for any recoverable items. If we don't find anything there, we can use the Windows File Recovery Tool, running it with administrator access to command the recovery process. For more extensive recovery, data recovery software like Disk Drill or EaseUS can be useful as well. By following these steps, we can improve our chances of getting our files back, and there's more we can investigate!
Key Takeaways
Contents
- Check the Recycle Bin for deleted system files and restore them if available.
- Use the Windows File Recovery Tool for deeper recovery of lost system files.
- Enable File History to restore previous versions of files from backups.
- Consider data recovery software like Disk Drill or EaseUS for extensive recovery options.
- Seek professional data recovery services if self-recovery methods are unsuccessful.
Checking the Recycle Bin
How can we quickly check if our deleted system files are sitting in the Recycle Bin?
Initially, let's double-click the Recycle Bin icon on our Desktop or find it through the Start menu. Once opened, we can search for specific files using the search bar at the top-right corner. If we find the deleted files, we can select them by holding down the Ctrl key. Right-clicking gives us the option to "Restore," moving them back to their original locations. Recovering deleted files is often a straightforward process if they remain in the Recycle Bin. Additionally, if the files are not found, seeking assistance from experts in data recovery services can significantly improve the chances of retrieval.

We are very grateful to Vlad for his excellent service repairing our personal laptop. Our laptop suddenly got infected with adware popping up everywhere on our computer screen and we needed a speedy and reliable service to get it fixed asap. We came across … More Dr IT Services and were lucky enough to be able to book Vlad on the same day. He very speedily diagnosed and fixed our laptop on the same day, and for a very reasonable price. We cannot recommend Vlad enough for his computer repair services!

I contacted Vlad after my son fried my laptop by using his powerful charger in my less powerful laptop. I was very anxious.
He was very responsive when I made initial contact and I was above to drop my laptop off that morning.
The service was supremely … More professional and very quick. I even brought my son's laptop (which was broken and that is why he was using mine) to be fixed too.
I was given clear prices and expectations for how long the repairs would take. Both repairs were completed very quicker and exceeded expectations.
I would highly recommend Vlad.

Highly recommend.
I contacted Vlad as my laptop wasn’t working. (Would not power up). I dropped it off to him in the morning. Then later that day he was able to diagnose the fault and put forward a plan to resolve.
Unfortunately it was not economical … More to repair, but he was able to source the perfect replacement for my budget. Which I couldn't be more happy with. For a small fee he was able to transfer all my data over to the new device.
All turned around in a few days.
The service was fast, friendly and had great communication. I would highly recommend to anybody who needs their devices repairing.
Thanks Vlad.

Using Windows Built-In Tools
After checking the Recycle Bin for our deleted system files, we can investigate the built-in tools Windows offers for recovery. We should start by downloading the Windows File Recovery Tool from the Microsoft Store and running it with Administrator access. Using the command syntax 'winfr source-drive: destination-drive: [/mode] [/switches]', we can specify file types with wildcards, ensuring we choose the appropriate recovery mode. Additionally, using the command-line syntax enables more targeted recovery options for specific file types. Alternatively, enabling File History lets us restore files from previous backups effortlessly. It's important to note that immediate cessation of drive use is recommended to prevent data overwriting, as recovery success depends on various factors.
Utilizing Data Recovery Software
When system files go missing, utilizing data recovery software can be a lifesaver. Data recovery software is essential for users who accidentally delete files or experience data loss. Professional data recovery services, such as those offered in Selly Oak, can also help recover lost data effectively.
We can choose from several powerful options to recover our data effectively:
- Disk Drill: User-friendly with strong recovery features, including a free version for up to 500 MB.
- TestDisk & PhotoRec: Great for advanced users, specializing in partition recovery and supporting multiple file systems.
- EaseUS Data Recovery: Efficiently retrieves files from different media, with a free version allowing recovery of up to 2 GB.
