I cannot find a recover files software utility on my PC. Help, I have unintentionally deleted a critical file from my PC and I don't know how to recover it! This is a very common question for people with PCs using the Windows operating system. The good news is, even though you thought you had permanently deleted the file, in most instances it can be easily retrieved. In this article we are going to discuss what you need to do to recover your lost file.

So when does "permanent" not really mean permanent? Luckily in regard to deleting files in Windows, it is always. Most people don't realize that to permanently delete a file in Windows is essentially a three step process. First the file gets moved to the recycle bin as a temporary holding place. The second step is when you empty the recycle bin and this is where most people think the file is permanently deleted. However, in reality the Windows operating system simply changes the file name by removing the first character and making it hidden on the hard drive. At this point the file is still recoverable. However, Windows does not come with a recover files software utility to recover it, so you essentially have two options.

A. Search for a business that performs data recovery and hire them to help you recover the file.

B. Browse the web and purchase a utility to recover files.

If you need to recover your deleted file quickly, the preferred option is number two. No matter what time of day it is you can download a inexpensive recover files software utility from the web and recover your file quickly. On the other hand, if you're not in a hurry and you don't mind spending more in order to have someone else take care of the problem, then option one would be your choice.

By reviewing several file recovery software packages, we have determined that the most important features are:

A. The program must download and install quickly and easily.

B. Should be able to recover files from hard drives and other sources

C. It must be simple to use immediately upon downloading.

D. It should be able to search the entire system including multiple hard drives for deleted files.

There are several recover file software packages available to recover deleted files that meet all of the above requirements that are inexpensive and can be downloaded immediately. No matter what type of file you have accidentally deleted, whether it be a Word document, an Excel spreadsheet, a favorite photograph or just about any other type of file, you will be able to easily retrieve it and be back to normal very shortly.
