Hello, can anyone tell me how to recover deleted temporary files? I need to restore an important unsaved Word document from a temporary file. But last night, I accidentally deleted the temp files. I can't find the deleted temporary files in the Recycle Bin. What should I do? How can I recover temporary files in Windows 10?
Temporary files, also referred to as temp files in Windows, serve the purpose of backup. They periodically save unsaved and edited document content. In the event that a program or computer crashes or stops abnormally, these temporary files can be utilized to help recover lost data. Since unsaved documents cannot be retrieved, even with third-party data recovery tools, it's crucial to recover deleted temporary files if you wish to restore any significant unsaved files.
To effectively recover deleted temporary files and prevent data loss, we highly recommend trying the Data Recovery Wizard tool. With this utility, you can easily restore deleted temporary files on Windows 10/8/7 computers. Whether you've removed temp files by emptying the Recycle Bin or using Shift+Delete, the Data Recovery Wizard can also help you recover deleted files from the Recycle Bin or recover Shift+Delete files in Windows 7.
Now, let's proceed with the step-by-step instructions to recover deleted temporary files.
Step 1: Choose a location and start scanning
Launch the Data Recovery Wizard, and hover the mouse over the partition/drive where the deleted files were stored. Click “Scan” to look for the lost files.
Step 2. Select the files to recover
Once the scan is finished, select the deleted files you want to recover. You can click on the Filter to display only the file types you need. If you remember the name of the file, you can also search for it in the “Search for files or folders” box – this is the fastest way to locate your target file.
Step 3: Preview and recover the deleted files
Preview the recoverable files, select the ones you want to restore, and click "Recover" to save them to a new location instead of the disk where the data was lost.
