    Deleted file thumbnails by mistake and don't know how to retrieve them


    I had recently cleaned my computer and accidentally deleted my file thumbnails in the process. I use Windows 10. Is there a way to retrieve them or are they permanently lost? New file thumbnails are not showing either.

    I have previously tried de-selecting "Show icons but never thumbnails" but it was never selected in the first place. I have also tried searching "explore.exe" in the task manager but that also did nothing.

    Thanks


    I had forgotten to de-select this vv

  3. How to retrieve a word document deleted by mistake?

    By mistake I deleted a very important document of around 100 pages. When retrieving it from the waster basket it was highly distorted, called ASD-file, and primarily not readable. Is there any way of reconstructing the word format, or maybe a text format,
    or any format that will enable - with or without much surplus labour - to extract the original document? Desperately hoping for help.
