Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover deleted files/photos/folders from Windows 10/11?
Yes, you can. WinfrGUI supports recovery of files with directory structure and file names under NTFS/FAT/exFAT/ReFS file systems, including media files/office files/ZIP files, etc.
How to recover deleted files from recycle bin?
When a file is permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin, it is invisible to the user but still resides on the hard drive until it is overwritten with new data. You can use WinfrGUI to recover some or all of the data.
Where do permanently deleted files go in Windows?
When you empty the Recycle Bin containing deleted files or use the Shift + Delete shortcut to delete files, Windows marks the files as deleted and deletes all pointers to them, which is why these files are invisible to the user.
Also, the space used by deleted files will be marked as free space. So technically, deleted files will still physically exist on your computer until Windows overwrites them with new data.
