How Do You Recover Deleted Files In Windows XP?
When you delete a file on your Windows XP computer, it is not actually deleted, but instead moved to the Recycle Bin for pending deletion at some point in the future (this point varies depending on your computer settings). This type of arrangement makes it simple for you to recover files that you have deleted, in case you delete a file that you later discover you actually need. Log in to your Windows XP computer and locate the Recycle Bin icon on the Desktop. Double-click on the Recycle Bin icon to open the Recycle Bin and view its contents. Right-click on the file you wish to restore, or hold down CTRL and left-click to select multiple files and then right-click on one of them, and select the “Restore” option. The files are automatically restored to their original locations from where they were deleted.
