How to Recover Deleted Files From Your Windows 7 Flash Drive
Flash drives in Windows 7 function as removable storage devices. Files like ".avi" video files and ".mp3" music files stored on flash drives will function on the computer. If any of these files are deleted from the flash, a deleted file recovery program will find these files. Once they are found, these files may be restored to the flash drive and will work as if nothing ever happened.
