Being able recover deleted files with Windows 10 tools or through the use of third-party tools. In any case, it seems that it is easier than ever to be able to recover deleted files in Windows 10.
First we will talk about how to recover deleted files with the Windows 10 tool. This tool is already included in Windows 10. To make use of it we only have to go to the folder where the deleted file was, we click with the right button and we go to Properties.
In properties there will be a tab called "Previous versions", there we will see the previous versions of that folder and with it all the files that that folder contained in the past. Returning to a version where the folder contained the deleted file will be enough to recover the deleted file.

The second tool is called Recuva. Recuva is a Piriform tool that specializes in recovering deleted files. It is a free tool that we can get from the official website. Once we have downloaded the new tool, we have to run it to activate the installation wizard. The wizard is "next" type, that is, an easy installation. Once we have it installed, we execute it and select the drive where the file we want to recover is located.
Once the unit is marked, we press the scan button. After scanning the drive, Recuva will show us which files are recoverable and which files are not. We mark the files that we can recover and restore them. The problem with this tool is that not all deleted files can be recoveredDepending on the time and space occupied, it may or may not be recovered.
