Windows 10: How to Restore Deleted Files?

I transferred photos and videos from my iPhone to a newly created folder iPhone Pics 6 on my laptop. Then by mistake, I pressed some keys maybe ctrl + z, then the iPhone Pics 6 folder disappeared. I tried to undo what I did, then in a flash a window opened saying 1770 files are being deleted. Then I checked my recycle bin, nothing was there. No pictures and videos are on my iPhone too. All this has happened while my iPhone is connected to the laptop. I tried searching for this folder in This PC using the search box. I found the shortcut file of iPhone Pics 6 folder in the Users> Recent> but it says the file is changed or moved and I can't do anything with it.

There are a lot of important pictures and videos. How can I restore them?

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?

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:

Tried a system restore on the server?

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.
