Deleted File Recovery
Assessment and recovery attempts for files deleted from supported computers and storage devices when the data has not been overwritten.
From accidentally deleted files and formatted drives to corrupted storage, failed hard drives, USB devices and memory cards, our technicians assess and recover data from a range of supported media.
Losing access to documents, photos, work files or other important data can be stressful. We assess the storage device, identify the likely cause and explain the available recovery options before work begins.
We provide logical data recovery for selected hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards and computers. Recovery success depends on the fault, storage condition and whether the original data has been overwritten.
Similar symptoms can have different causes, so we inspect the storage device before confirming whether recovery appears practical.
Assessment and recovery attempts for files deleted from supported computers and storage devices when the data has not been overwritten.
Recovery assessment for hard drives affected by file-system errors, bad sectors, accidental formatting or other logical storage problems.
Assessment of selected solid-state drives with deleted data, corrupted partitions, failed file systems or intermittent access problems.
Recovery attempts for files stored on USB flash drives affected by accidental deletion, corruption or failed file-system access.
Assessment of SD and microSD cards used in phones, cameras and other devices when files are missing, deleted or inaccessible.
Recovery assessment for drives or cards that ask to be formatted, show errors, appear unreadable or contain damaged file systems.
Assessment of drives that have been accidentally formatted, with recovery depending on the format type, continued use and overwritten data.
Transfer of recovered files to suitable replacement storage, with practical advice on creating safer backups after recovery.
Not sure what has happened? We can inspect the storage device, review the symptoms and explain whether recovery appears practical.

Recovery assessment for internal and external hard drives affected by deletion, formatting, corruption, bad sectors or file-system errors.
Assessment of selected SSDs with deleted data, damaged file systems, corrupted partitions or intermittent access faults.
Recovery attempts for USB flash drives, SD cards and microSD cards affected by deletion, formatting, corruption or unreadable file systems.
Recovery assessment for files lost from Windows and Mac computers because of deletion, formatting, corruption or storage failure.
We follow a careful process to inspect the storage device, reduce unnecessary writes and recover accessible data to suitable replacement media.
Book a Recovery AssessmentLet us know the storage device, missing files, error messages and whether the drive was deleted, formatted, dropped or stopped working.
We inspect the device and determine whether the problem appears logical, physical or related to the file system.
We explain the available recovery approach, expected cost, likely success factors and estimated completion time.
After approval, we recover accessible files and transfer them to suitable replacement storage supplied or approved for the job.
We focus on reducing unnecessary risk, assessing the device carefully and explaining realistic recovery options before proceeding.
We inspect the device and symptoms before recommending a recovery method.
Recovery work is carried out with attention to minimising unnecessary writes to the original storage.
We explain the likely recovery cost and advise you if the storage condition changes the original assessment.
We can explain practical backup options to reduce the risk of future data loss.
The steps you take after data loss can affect the chance of successful recovery.
Stop using the affected drive, computer, USB device or memory card. New files and software can overwrite recoverable data.
Do not format the device or repeatedly run random repair tools, as they may change the file system or reduce recovery options.
Note any error messages, unusual noises, accidental deletion, formatting or physical damage before bringing in the device.
Find answers to common questions about deleted files, formatted drives, hard drive faults, SSDs, recovery time and success rates.
Deleted files may be recoverable when the storage space has not been overwritten. Stop using the device as soon as possible because continued use can reduce the chance of successful recovery.
Recovery may be possible depending on the type of format, the file system and whether new data has been written to the drive after formatting.
Some failed drives can be recovered when the problem is logical or limited to bad sectors. Drives with serious mechanical or electronic damage may require specialist laboratory recovery.
SSD recovery depends on the fault, controller behaviour, encryption, TRIM and whether the deleted data has already been cleared. An assessment is required before recovery can be confirmed.
Time depends on the storage device, amount of data, fault type and drive condition. Simple logical recovery may be completed quickly, but damaged or unstable drives can require additional imaging and analysis time.
No. Recovery success depends on the condition of the storage media, the type of damage and whether the original data has been overwritten, encrypted or physically destroyed.
Tell us the storage device, what happened and which files are missing. Our team can arrange a recovery assessment and explain the available options.
