Windows Tip: Restore Deleted Files

Use this tip to get data back.
If you're like me, you delete things before you know what they are. If you accidentally trash your tax files (or any other files for that matter), don't panic. Even when a document has been deleted, it's possible to recover it.

Just follow these three steps to recover anything from the Recycle Bin.

Double-click the Recycle Bin icon.
When the window is open, single-click the file you want to recover. To select multiple files, just hold down the Ctrl key and single-click the files you want to restore.
Open the File menu and select Restore.

The files will be returned to the original location from where they were deleted.
