Recover Deleted, Corrupted or Accidentally Deleted Files from the Recycle Bin

For Recycle Bin is reserved, usually 5% of the storage capacity of the device, and when this storage capacity is reached, the oldest files are deleted permanently, to make room for the new files.

In the eyes of a data recovery expert, this deletion is not permanent, it is only for the normal operating system paths.

The recovery of deleted files from the Recycle Bin is carried out by an alternative operating system path, which we have mastered thoroughly.

All data indexed by the operating system, can be deleted in a formatting. Even after formatting, the files are still registered invisibly, because of this, file recovery in the vast majority of cases is still possible, but if new information is registered where the old information is registered, file recovery is almost impossible, due to the concept known as data overwriting.

Most data corruptions occur at a time when the files are in use and unexpectedly there is a malfunction in the storage device when saving the files.

In this case changes to the files are not saved or are saved incorrectly, thus corrupting the files.

Turning off the device with open files can also corrupt the files. We have a history of customers who have corrupted data when a file was being transferred from one device to another and there was a power failure, making it impossible to complete the migration.

File recovery in this case is very delicate. In some cases recovery is possible.

The device needs to undergo an advanced diagnosis by one of Digital Recovery’s specialists to find out the degree of file corruption.

The most commonly used cyber-attack today is known as Ransomware, and this attack manages to lock your files by means of encryption. And with this a reward is demanded for the “kidnapped” data.

The larger the amount of data, the higher the ransom.

According to a survey done by Sonicwall, a digital security company, Brazil in 2020 became the 6th most attacked country in the world by ransomware, with more than 1 million attacks in the year.

The recovery of these files is delicate; few companies in the world have the technology to recover data encrypted by ransomware.

This type of data loss happens due to physical problems in the storage device, the most common of which is the hard disk, because it has its own mechanical components and is very delicate.

The magnetic platter where the data is recorded is extremely sensitive, and the reading head moves over it in a distance smaller than the thickness of a hair. Any touch to the magnetic platter can result in permanent data loss.

This is why recovering files from a damaged hard drive needs to be done by a specialized company, but not only this, the company needs to have a Class 100 Clean Room, this room controls the amount of particles in the air, particles that can damage the magnetic platter.

We can recover files from a burnt hard drive, because even if the logic board is burnt, the files are still registered on the disk.

This scenario is horrific in itself, not only for the loss of data, but more importantly for the possible loss of life and other property that was in the same physical environment.

The recovery of files in this situation depends a lot on the degree of damage caused to the device by fire or water.

To know if there is a possibility of file recovery, an advanced diagnosis by a Digital Recovery specialist is required.
