When you empty the Recycle Bin, the files are not immediately erased from the disk. Instead, the system simply marks the space previously occupied by the files as available for new data, but the actual data remains on the hard drive.
MyRecover can scan the hard drive for this leftover data and attempt to restore the files, as long as they haven't been overwritten. This is why recovering files from an emptied Recycle Bin is possible—though success rates decrease the longer the space remains available and is used for new data.
This is a 3-step process to recover deleted files from the emptied Recycle Bin using MyRecover.
Run the data recovery software, choose Recycle Bin Recovery and and choose the location where the data was.
The tool automatically scans the location to find your lost data. Simply wait for the scan to complete.
Click Recycyle Bin or Deleted Files to find and preview your desired files. Or, you can search for the target file by name. Select the desired files and choose a destination to save them.
