Solution 2: Recover Deleted Files from Recycling Bin

If the G-Tech external drive was connected to your computer when the files were deleted, they may have been moved to the Windows Recycle Bin.

    In that case, go to the Recycle Bin. Highlight the file you want to retrieve. Right-click on it and select "Restore" to recover the deleted file.

If you forget the name of the image, you can search for “Recycle Bin” to quickly find the image you want.

However, if you have emptied the Recycle Bin or pressed “Shift+Delete,” it is advised to use a data recovery application to restore the deleted pictures or photos.
