Recover Files from Windows Computer
Although Recoverit has updated its interface, the recovery process is still the same. To recover data on a computer, please follow these 3 steps:
- Select a location
- Scan the location
- Preview & Recover
Step 1Select a Location
To recover data on a computer, it is necessary to choose a location where you have lost data.
After launching this program, the default interface will display 'Hard Drives and Locations' on the left. Here, please select a hard disk under the "Hard Disk Drives" tab or Desktop under the "Quick Access" tab.
Click "Start" to begin the scanning on the selected location.
To quickly begin scanning for lost files, start by locating the drive or folder where the files were lost. Right-click on the drive or folder and choose the option to scan for deleted files with Recoverit. This will automatically launch Recoverit and start scanning the selected location in the Hard Drives and Locations section.
Step 2Scan the Location
Recoverit will start an all-around scan automatically. In the former versions, it would take a few minutes to finish the scanning. Sometimes, even a few hours were required if many large-sized files were present. However, Recoverit has greatly sped up the scanning process and will surely save you time in recovery.
Meanwhile, you can see the real-time scanning results on the interface, allowing you to check the results at any time.
During the scanning process, you can also pinpoint files or stop scanning for your convenience.
If you are looking for lost or deleted videos, then you can click on the "Enhanced Recovery" option that is located at the bottom-left corner of the interface. Simply click on it to perform a deep scan to look for large-sized videos. You can learn more about the Enhanced Recovery feature later in this tutorial.
1Pinpoint Files During the Scanning
During the scanning, you can toggle between different ways to filter, select, and pinpoint the files you want to recover. The ways are respectively "File Type", "Time", "File Size" and "All Files". After you set the filter, the program will load the search results that match what you want.
Moreover, you can also directly search for keywords in the upper-right box. Then, Recoverit will recognize all the files related to the keywords.
- File Type: Filter results for specific file types, such as photos, multiple file types, or view all file types.
- Time: This will allow you to filter files based on specific modification or creation dates. You can toggle the feature to display or hide system files.
- File Size: To view all files irrespective of their size or files of a specific size (like 100-500 MB).
- All Files: By clicking this, you can view all files or only view the deleted files.
2Pause or Stop the Scanning
Even if Recoverit starts to scan the selected location for your lost data, you can pause or stop it at any time. You can suspend the scanning temporarily by clicking the pause button, and the notice "Scanning Paused" will display on the progress bar. You can continue the process after clicking the play button.
If you have found something you want, you can stop the process at any point by clicking on the stop button.
3Save the Scan Result
If you're short on time to recover all the files found during the scan, simply click the button to save the scanning result for future use. When you're ready to resume, launch Recoverit and access the saved progress. From there, you can easily select the desired file and recover the lost data.

Each time the files are deleted from your computer by choosing the "Delete" option, they go to the Recycle Bin. The lost files can come from different sources of your computer, including the internal hard drive, partitions, sectors, and even external devices.
To recover the permanently deleted or emptied data from the Recycle Bin, scanning the whole computer is unreasonable. It will result in a very long scanning time.
There are two scan modes for Recycle Bin recovery to save the scanning time, namely all-around scan and deep scan. Once you find nothing through the all-around scan, you can turn to the deep scan mode. The deep scan will deeply search for your lost data.

Recent Videos from Recoverit
View More >Step 1 Select the “Enhanced Recovery” Option
Download Wondershare Recoverit and launch the program on your computer or laptop. Once done, go to the “Enhanced Recovery” option. You will find it on the left side of the main window, as shown below.
Here, you will find a list of external drives and hard drives. Choose the one you want to recover your lost or damaged photos or videos from.
As soon as you enter the desired drive, Recoverit will ask you to choose the format of the photos or videos you want to get back.
- By default, it will check for the first two formats, i.e., MP4 and MOV.
- If you choose more file formats, Recoverit will take more time to scan the storage device.
Once you choose the right format, hit the “Start” button to proceed further.
Step 2 Quick and Deep Scan Videos/Photos
After you press the “Start” button, Recoverit will start performing “Quick Scan” and “Deep Scan” at the same time, and you can see the progress at the bottom of the window, as shown below.
All files are scanned by Quick Scan, which only renders source files, like video fragments. In contrast, Deep Scan consumes more time because it looks for different video fragments and matches them to make sure the complete video is restored. You can stop the scanning process at any time (once you find the desired stuff) before it completes.
Once the scanning process is completed, it is always better to preview your photos or videos first before you recover them. It ensures you are going to recover the stuff you actually need. This is where the “Enhanced Recovery” feature of Wondershare Recoverit comes in handy.
Step 3 Preview and Recover Videos/Photos
This step enables you to preview the recovered videos or photos as soon as the Recoverit completes its scanning process. Take your cursor on the thumbnail and press the “Preview” button . You will be able to see the video/photo you want to restore.
You can preview unlimited photos before you restore, whereas the preview for videos is limited to 30 seconds if you are using the free version.
Once you are sure you have previewed the right photo/video, it is time to press the “Recover” button. Doing this will open a new window on your screen where you can choose the location to save the recovered photos/videos on your laptop or computer.
Note: We recommend you choose a different path to save the recovered data on your device compared to where it was lost.
Good luck with your recovery!
