Photos are files saved in everyone's computer, and many photos are of great significance to users. We all know that data on computer hard disks is often lost due to various reasons, such as accidental deletion, hard disk repartitioning, mistaken ghosting, the partition cannot be opened, prompting that it has not been formatted, partition loss, viruses, etc. So, what should you do if the photos on your computer are lost?

How to restore photos accidentally deleted by computer? If you accidentally delete important files, you can try these three recovery methods.

• First, you can search for files in the Recycle Bin. Files deleted from the computer's hard drive will be put into the Recycle Bin by the system (except those deleted using Shift+Delete). The files can be restored to their original location before the Recycle Bin is emptied.
• Secondly, files can be restored from backup. Whether you use the backup function provided by Windows system or the backup created by third-party software, as long as you have the backup file, you can restore the file.
• Finally, you can also use computer photo recovery software to retrieve deleted photos.

Method 1. Recover deleted pictures on computer from Recycle Bin

Files and folders (less than 4688MB) including pictures can be restored in the Recycle Bin as long as they are deleted with the right mouse button.

Here are the detailed steps:

1. Open the Recycle Bin by double-clicking the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop.

2. Find and select the pictures you want to recover.

3. Make a note of the original location of the files as that is where they will be restored.

Method 2. Use professional software to recover deleted pictures from your computer

When there are no lost pictures in the Recycle Bin and no backup, how can I recover pictures deleted from my computer? When you permanently delete a file, Windows doesn't actually delete the file; it doesn't even change the original data at all. Windows will only change the corresponding record in the file system to mark the file as "deleted". Neither the file system nor the data is deleted, and the deleted files remain on your hard drive. So you can recover pictures through data recovery software-iBekit Computer Data Recovery.
