Accidentally deleting important files from your USB flash drive can be a frustrating experience. Fortunately, there are several free methods you can try to recover those deleted files. In this blog post, we will explore some of these methods and guide you through the process. Let’s get started!

Method 1: Using the Recycle Bin

When you delete files from your USB flash drive, they are often moved to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac) first. To recover them, follow these steps:

  • Connect your USB flash drive to your computer.
  • Open the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac) on your desktop.
  • Locate the deleted files in the list.
  • Right-click on the desired files and select “Restore.”

If this method works, the files will be restored to their original location on the USB flash drive.

Method 2: Utilizing the Command Prompt (Windows)

If you can’t find your deleted files in the Recycle Bin, you can try using the Command Prompt in Windows. Here’s how:

  • Connect your USB flash drive to your computer.
  • Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  • Type “cmd” and hit Enter to open the Command Prompt.
  • In the Command Prompt window, type the following command: attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.* (replace X with the drive letter assigned to your USB flash drive).
  • Press Enter and wait for the process to complete.

If successful, this method will recover your deleted files and make them visible again on your USB flash drive.

Method 3: Using Data Recovery Software

If the previous methods fail to retrieve your deleted files, you can try using data recovery software. Here are a few popular free options:

  • Recuva: Recovers a wide range of file types and offers a user-friendly interface.
  • CCleaner: Provides basic file recovery features along with other system optimization tools.
  • EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard: Recovers files from various storage devices, including USB flash drives.

Download and install one of these software programs, then follow the instructions to recover your deleted files.

Accidentally deleting files from a USB flash drive doesn’t have to be a permanent loss. By using the Recycle Bin, Command Prompt (Windows), or data recovery software, you can often recover your deleted files at no cost. Remember to take immediate action and avoid saving new data on the USB flash drive to increase your chances of successful recovery.

Hopefully, this blog post has provided you with valuable information on how to recover deleted files from a USB flash drive. Good luck with your file recovery process!
