Windows 10: Can anyone help with restoring files from a deleted user?

My father had some issues with a corrupted user so he tried to delete the user, but when he deleted it he accidentally clicked to delete the files instead of keep them... Is there any way to restore the files? Or anything? My family is incredibly panicked over this, any help would be really appreceadted.

Deleted file restore software.

Shute I never thought about system restore. But its been more than a week now, don't know if I can go back that far. But even then will it put back user files?

I cant remember if it recovers old files OR leaves new files on the computer even after you do the restore. I havent used it in a while.

Oh.

So your running the backup software from the server and not the computer.

Yep I see whats happened. Just for the future (althought I am sure you wont make the same mistake again) make sure you select and option that says "if it cant find the file, DONT delete". If it doesnt have that option...switch to SynbackSE.

An FYI: difference between incremental and differential is that differential copies all new / changed files since the last full backup......incremental copies all new / changed files since the last backup no matter what it was (incremental/full/differential).

Now to get your files back:
