Deleting a file can be an accident and can be recovered from a Recycle Bin. However, what if you have accidentally deleted a file, and now you want to recover a file that has been deleted from the recycle bin. The official Microsoft store offers a freeware application that we can use to recover any deleted files. Windows File Recovery is a command-line based application that can recover permanently deleted files, but first, you will have to install it on your device. You can go to Microsoft store and search for Windows File recovery, get and install the application.
We all delete the unnecessary files that we don’t need. However, sometimes deleting a file is a bad choice, as it is possible that we may still need the file. If you delete a file on Windows, the deleted files will be temporarily stored in the Recycle Bin. Therefore you can restore the deleted files and can also delete the files Permanently from your hard disk.
The tool will be installed as winfr.exe on your system. You can type winfr to launch the application from anywhere. The application can also recover files from an external hard drive or USB stick. However, it runs only on the latest May 2020 version 2004 of Windows. So if you haven’t updated your Windows yet, you can’t utilize the Windows File Recovery app. Though the application will be recovering deleted files, therefore it will need administrative privileges. Without administrative privileges, the application wouldn’t work properly.
