Undo Delete Text

You can press Ctrl+Z to undo the deletion of text you're editing or undo previous actions.

If you can't use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Z to undo the deletion, right-click anywhere inside the folder and select “Undo Delete.”

Losing important text and data can be frustrating, especially if you've been working on it for a long time. Fortunately, there are several tools and features in Windows that let you undelete text. In just seconds, you can restore lost content and get back to your project. You never have to worry about losing crucial information again, because deleted text is recoverable.

# Use Data Recovery Software to Undelete Text Files

Did you lose a text file? Don't worry. When you delete a text file, the space it occupied is simply released so that new data can use it, and you can no longer access the file. However, the actual content remains on your disk until new data permanently overwrites it. As long as the space hasn't been written over, you can successfully recover a text file.

With recovery software, it only takes a few clicks to restore deleted text files. I recommend using the Data Recovery Wizard Pro tool for this. This free data recovery program offers a simple and quick option for data retrieval.

    • Devices: Hard drive, RAID, SSD, USB flash drive, SD card, desktops/laptops, etc.
