Restoring files from Recycle Bin

I was storing my important files and remove repeated versions.  I can still see those I intend to keep, but is there a link between the original file and deleted the one of the same name in the trash.  Just check before you empty the trash bin and find that I've lost everything!  My reason for this is I want to compress the files that I have left, but my c: / drive is currently too full.

See other responses you got and let me add the following:

1. I highly recommend against compression. It can slow you down and increase the risk of problems.

2. If you have very little free hard disk space, there are various thingsyou can do to save space, but they are essentially temporary. In no time, you find yourself in the same situation. Permanent solutions are to replace your drive with a bigger, or add a second drive.

  • In any case to restore files from a backup .inp to reformat?

    OK, so recently I had to reformat my Windows 8 Pro ultrabook. I tried to update the operating system, reinstall the OS before that I had to format and restore from a previous restore point. Unfortunately, none of the above methods worked as I couldn't get past a never-ending startup screen or a blue screen error. When I tried to reinstall the operating system he saved all my files from the user to an external hard disk in a .inp file format. It also creates a file migr.xml and include.xml to this folder location. After crossing the include.xml file in a text editor, I saw all my files that were lost were in the .inp archives. Is there anyway to recover these files?

    I know that it is about a year too late, but if anyone runs into this problem (like me) there is a simple solution. Go to the dell Web site:

    www.Dell.com/.../en

    and download the MigRestore software, this will allow you to recover the INP.files in your backup folder. Dell Backup and Restore software will not recover the files that contain files in XML document which is a major flaw of course.

    I spend hours looking for the solution, so I hope that this will save someone some time.

    Kind regards

  • Restoring files from Windows XP (.bkf) in Windows 7

    I had a complete computer failure and replaced my laptop with a new one running Windows 7. I need to restore all my files from backups made on Windows XP (.bkf files). This doesn't seem to be possible in Windows 7. I saw a few proposals for solutions that involve the restoration of a machine running XP and then transfer the files, but I don't have a second machine to do this. How can I access backed up files?

    And if it does not, you can wait until Microsoft releases the NTBackup Restore Utility for Windows 7 (as they did for Windows Vista). Check out this thread.
