How to Recover (Almost) Anything

by Kiven on September 5th, 2007

It’s amazing how fast a single keystroke or mouse click can change your life. One false move, and boom! An hour’s, day’s, or even lifetime’s work can slip away into digital oblivion. But not everything that disappears is lost forever. These tips will help you retrieve the seemingly irretrievable: from files long ago removed from the Recycle Bin, to hard drives you pronounced dead in years past, to text messages zapped from your cell phone’s SIM card.

Recover a missing or deleted file: The file was there just a second ago–you’d swear to it! Before you panic and start shopping for a file-recovery program, make sure that you don’t make things worse. If you’re certain that you deleted the file, refrain from running any software designed to save files to the hard drive, a USB flash drive, or a memory card that the files was stored on; doing so may overwrite recoverable data.
