Accidentally Deleted Files – Data Recovery in Champlin, MN
If you accidentally deleted photos, documents, or an entire folder, stop using the device right away. The biggest risk after deletion is new data being written over the space where your files still exist.

Can Deleted Files Be Recovered?
In many cases, yes. When you delete a file, the device usually removes the “pointer” to it, but the data can remain until something else overwrites that space.
Recovery chances depend on the device type and what happened after deletion. A drive that’s been heavily used after deletion may have lower recovery odds.
Common “Accidental Deletion” Scenarios
Recycle Bin was emptied
Files may still be recoverable if the drive hasn’t been used much since.
Photos deleted from SD card
Stop using the card immediately to avoid overwriting deleted photos.
Folder deleted or moved
We can often locate and restore folder structures depending on the drive condition.
Important Note About SSDs
SSDs can be more difficult for deleted-file recovery because of a feature called TRIM, which may permanently remove deleted data quickly.
If the deleted files were on an SSD, time matters. Stop using the device and reach out as soon as possible.
