In creating this tutorial on how to recover deleted files we must first explain how files are deleted in the first place. Now of course the majority of files that we delete are done so on purpose and we have no need or desire to recover them. There would be no need for file recovery if we never deleted a file we still wanted or if software and hardware did not occasionally malfunction and deleted important files for us.
What then are the causes of file deletion?
The foremost is human error. We simply click when we should have clacked we zigged instead of zagged and we deleted when we meant to save. Everyone has a mental lapse from time to time and makes this same mistake.
The next most common cause of file deletion occurs when we uninstall software programs. Unused and obsolete programs often are attached to needed shared system files. We uninstall a program and discover that we are now missing an application file that ran something else.
