How to Recover a Deleted DOC File on a Pen Drive
DOC files are word processor files used by Microsoft Word. The data is text-based and is used for a variety of different reasons. However, if .doc files you have stored on a USB pen drive turn up missing and the information is important, you must recover the files from the pen drive. This is only capable through a downloadable file-recovery program.
