Recovering deleted files and formatted drives

Deleting a file or formatting a drive does not wipe the data straight away. It marks the space as free, and the files stay until something new is written over them.

What you need to know

• Stop using the drive. Every new file saved can overwrite an old one.
• Do not install recovery software on it. Installing is writing. Use another computer, or let us do it.
• SSDs are different. Many SSDs erase deleted data in the background within minutes, so speed matters most here.
• What we recover. Documents, photos, email and accounts files, with names and folders where the file system allows.
