I have inadvertently permanently deleted some files from my hard drive
It is terrible to delete files or folders off the hard disk inadvertently and permanently. For example, we may delete data off one of the computer hard disk drives by shift delete inadvertently. It is impossible for us to get them in the recycle, so it seems that there is no way to restore those deleted contents and we lose them permanently. But as a matter of fact, there is still an opportunity for us to get them back after deleting them permanently. The possible way is to use data recovery software.
Case of some files on the hard disk are deleted mistakenly
I have inadvertently permanently deleted some files from my hard drive. What's more, I deleted them by clicking on the shift and delete buttons at the same time. My classmates told me that I can not see the deleted information in the recycle bin if they are deleted by shift delete. But I still opened the recycle bin to have a check, and there is nothing I want. I have to get those deleted files back as soon as possible, can you kindly help me? -Pert from New York
