Tap on the "Backup" option.

If a backup is available, select Restore files from current backup.

2.Use professional data recovery software

There are many data recovery software out there that can help you recover deleted files,** and install data recovery software.

Run the software, and select the drive you want to scan.

Start the scan and wait for the scan to complete.

Preview the found files and select the ones you want to recover.

Choose a safe location to save the recovered files.

3.Check the backups, if any

If you back up your data regularly, then you can recover deleted files from the backup.

4.Use a file recovery service

If none of the above methods work, you can consider using a professional file recovery service. These services usually cost a fee and do not necessarily guarantee a successful file recovery.

Note: Once you find that a file has been deleted by mistake, try to avoid writing new data to the partition to reduce the risk of data overwriting.

Take action as soon as possible, as the success rate of data recovery may decrease over time.

Backing up your important data regularly is the best way to avoid data loss.

The above information is for reference only and cannot guarantee 100% recovery success, and the specific recovery situation will vary depending on the reason for data loss, time, storage media status and other factors.
