What to Type in to DOS to Retrieve Deleted Files?
It always happens that a file that seemed unimportant when you deleted it is later needed, or perhaps an important file may be deleted by mistake. Luckily, files that are deleted are not immediately lost. Each file on the computer has a unique address that the computer uses to track the file’s location. When a file is “deleted,” only this address is removed. The actual file information remains on your hard disk until a newer file overwrites the space. This makes it possible to retrieve deleted files with DOS.
