Your files are missing and you don’t know what happened! Missing files can be caused by accidental deletions, deletion by another file, file corruption, or maybe the file is password protected. There are several ways to fix this problem.
1. Check your storage devices. If the file has been backed up on a flash drive, you can still access it from the flash drive. The file can be restored if you re-save it onto the computer with the flash drive.
2. Search through your discarded files. Your file may still be in the Trash or Recycle Bin that is present on your computer if you have not cleaned it recently.
3. Download a recovery program. There are free data recovery programs available on the Internet. For example, PowerQuest makes the utility Drive Image that can – in some cases – be used to recover data from a hard drive.
If you are still having problem recovering your data, it’s time to contact an IT service. One way to seek immediate service help for your computer problem is through TalkLocal, a free online service that will contact computer repair businesses for you and find ones who can help you. There is instant online support and you can call anytime.
