How to Recover Lost Files

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to recover lost files. What I'm going to do is I'm going to click down here at the bottom, I'm going to go to my documents. I'm just going to delete a couple of files on accident. "Oopps, didn't mean to delete those". So I want to recover them. Let's just store this down or minimize it and on the desktop we're going to see the recycling bin. The recycling bin is sort of a catch all. When you delete a file, it goes to here. The files not actually gone, you have a second chance to recover that file. Just open it up, as you can see, I have many files already in here. What we're going to do is find one of those files that I deleted and say it was database 1. I'm going to right click on it and we're going to say restore. If I go back to my documents, you can see that database 1 is right back safe and sound. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to recover lost files."
