Lanning

Recommended Posts

A colleague has mistakenly deleted an important office file sized 10 mb while deleting unimportant files by pressing shift+delete.and ok.

Is it possible to recover any part of file to save another 15-30 days of work?

Your file is not deleted permanently! It is simply deleted, ie it isn't visible, but it is on your drive. If You want to delete permanently, you must it overwrite with zeros, with random data, etc. Then it cannot be recovered. But now You simply must use some good recovery software and you may to restore all without the faults, but there is also the possibility that some files are already damaged, over-written..

There is actually an option to undelete (ctrl+z) it right after it was deleted.

That only works, if the file is in Recycle Bin. But he used Shift+Del option, so it wont' work.

Install portable version of Recuva on your USB drive and try to recover it.
