Some of us are used to cleaning up computer data frequently to get the computer running in a healthy way. But sometimes we may deleted useful files mistakenly. What to do if you delete useful files by mistake? Here are some useful guides that will help you recover deleted files from a Windows computer.

1. Recover from Recycle

If you find you just deleted something useful, the first effective way is to recover it from the Recycle Bin. Just right-click on the found files and choose recover to restore the file to its original location. Or you can drag the file to the folder or location you hope to save.
