No need for a third-party software now
Windows 10 now has an official recovery tool for deleted files which is available for download via the Microsoft Store (available in beta). Windows File Recovery is a tool which allows users to reverse a bad decision made in terms of permanently deleting a file that we later decide was actually something you needed to keep.
Oops, i deleted or flashed my drive by mistake.
Think this way, suppose you wipe your drive completely and later found that there were some important files that was not supposed to be deleted, then this new Windows File Recovery will come in handy.
Windows File Recovery offers several modes the user can choose from, including a default mode for basic recovery operations, and a ‘signature’ mode for use with the likes of USB sticks or SD cards.
For photos, documents, videos and more, Windows File Recovery supports many file types to help ensure that your data is not permanently lost.
You can download the app from the Microsoft Store, but note that users must be running the latest version of Windows 10 (May 2020 Update) a.k.a Windows 10 version 19041.0 (or higher).
Also, remember that like any file recovery tool, the sooner you attempt the recovery operation, the better, because if you continue to use the drive, there’s a chance that the ‘deleted’ data may actually have been overwritten by fresh data.
