    Hi

    You may be able to recover the deleted files using the Previous Versions component.

    1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder where the files were stored.

    2. Right click the folder and select the Restore Previous Version from the menu.

    3. In the Previous Version dialog, select a version with a date and time prior to when you deleted the files.

    4. Select the Copy Button. Select the Desktop as the location for the copy and click the Copy Button.

    5. Go to the Desktop, open the copied folder and look for the files.

    If the files are there, move them out of the copied folder to the Desktop. You can then delete the copied, previous version of that folder.

    Let us know the results.

    Regards

    If the files were deleted from the computer it is sometimes, but not always, possible to recover deleted files with special software.

    What if the files were on my desktop, and when I a try to select a new date and time prior to when you deleted the item, one isn't available? :( I have Windows 10 too.... Thank you!

    Wow! Thanks I am a DJ and I mistakenly deleted my music files. I have downloaded some recovery software's which work but were taking to long but this is great. I will wait patiently for 35 minutes for my files to be restored. :) 

    Thanks from Dj Rezurekt
