If you’ve lost or deleted data from a hard drive or accidentally formatted it, there are manual approaches to help recover your files. Start by checking the Recycle Bin, as recently deleted files may still be there. If the data isn’t in the Recycle Bin, you can use the Windows File History feature or System Restore to recover earlier versions of files. Additionally, you can run a command in Command Prompt like chkdsk to check for drive errors and possibly regain access to lost files. These methods can help you recover your data without the need for specialized tools, but success may vary depending on the extent of the damage or deletion.

For more advanced data recovery, especially when manual methods don’t work, BLR Data Recovery Tool can help you regain lost, deleted, or formatted hard drive data.
