Recover files after emptying the Recycle Bin

An emptied bin is not the end if the drive is untouched.

CODECodeExtra checkout code SAFRECOV

Files from an emptied Recycle Bin can be recovered until their storage space is reused. The less you use that drive afterward, the better.

Try the built-in routes first: File History, System Restore or the command line. With no backup, scan the original drive with Recoverit.

Install the recovery program on a different drive if possible. An installer could land on the space your deleted files occupy.

Postpone disk cleanup, defragmenting and CHKDSK until after recovery, since they can alter file system records.

Save to another drive and tick only the files you need.

Does Shift+Delete count?

Deletes that bypass the bin are scanned too, though overwriting reduces the chances.

I emptied it long ago.

What matters is how much new data hit that drive since. Scan and see whether previews open.

Where should I install it?

Another partition or an external drive, not the one that held the files.
