Can I Recover Deleted Files from Windows XP?

I accidentally deleted some important videos and pictures from my computer, which runs Windows XP on it. I have mistakenly cleared Recycle Bin as well. How can I restore deleted files from my Windows XP computer? Many thanks.

Since you have already cleared Recycle Bin, there's no chance for you to restore deleted files from it. However, you can still recover deleted data from the Windows XP computer as long as it has not been overwritten by new data. You just need to stop using your Windows XP computer or putting any new data to the drive that your data was deleted from, and then look for a Windows XP deleted file recovery program on the Internet.

Recover Deleted Files from Windows XP in 3 Steps

Note: Please do not install the tool on the original partition/drive that files were deleted from your Windows XP computer because deleted data can be overwritten by new data easily.

Step 1. Select partition/drive on your Windows XP computer

Then the program will detect and show all partitions/drives on your Windows XP compute. You just need to select the one that your files were deleted from and click "Start" to begin scanning lost data on it.

Step 2. Scan the location

Recoverit will start an all-around scan. Usually, it will take a few minutes to finish the scanning. Sometimes, a few hours are required if many large-sized files are present.

Step 3. Preview and recover files

After scanning, found files on the scanned partition/drive will be displayed in "File View" and "Tree View" categories. You can view file names to check how many deleted files can be recovered from your Windows XP computer. If you can't find your files after the quick scan, you can try the "All-Around Recovery" option to start a deep scan for your Windows XP. It can search all your files while it takes more time to scan.

In the end, you just need to select the files you want and click "Recover" to save them back to your computer.

Note: To avoid data overwritten, please do not keep the recovered data back to the original partition/drive on your Windows XP computer.
