Part 2: Recover the Lost Data

Step 1: Locate to the lost data that you want to recover.

If you are going to recover the file that is simply deleted, you can enter the RECYCLE BIN folder.
When the data you need to retrieve is removed without sending to Recycle Bin(via Shift+Del) or is lost because of formatting or other reasons, you could go to the place where the file is missed.

After coming to the correct location, you can identify the target file via its name/file size or the last modified date of it.

Tips: If you cannot see the target file in the location where it is lost, you need to head to the lost_dir folder to reach it.

Except for the way above, you can use the Filter function to find your needed data more easily. Just click Filter option in the top menu. The Filter window will be shown. In the left side, set the Filter options that are file types, file size and Time. Choose Apply button to let the software filter the found data according to your settings. Then, check the file you hope to restore.
