Windows 10: Recover deleted files

Hello! I have a PC with Windows 10 and an IPhone. I installed iCloud/ iPhotos on my PC in order to upload photos from the PC to iPhotos. Yesterday PC stopped synchronizing to the iCloud and I read online that maybe my iCloud account got stuck and I should sign out of it and log in again on the PC.Now my whole hard drive D is deleted, totally empty, almost 1 TB of photos.How is it possible this external program to delete my files that have nothing to do with it. Has somebody else has such a case and is there a way to undo it or recover my photos.I would be very thankful for any ideas.

:)

 

How to recover files off a HDD from a deleted partition? help!!!

Thanks for your reply. I used my m8s program and it worked like a dream, recovered all the files and also deleted ones from yrs back, was amazed how well it did. Next step is i will use that Partition Table Doctor to recover the deleted partition. Thanks for the link *Toast :toast:

 

Recover deleted files from recycle bin?

EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard.

I have deleted accidentally 2TB files, all recovered back.

 

recover deleted data???

That was the word on the street (so to speak) all the way back to the DOS days.
Files are never really erased by the OS. Most every OS just marks the Directory entry for the file, that it was deleted. In the olden days, the filename "Mark.txt" would look like "?ark.txt".

PCTools had an undelete command in it's file manager. All you had to do was provide the first letter for a deleted file and PCTools would recover the file for you.

But if someone had deleted files and then did a defrag, well it was 99% certain that any deleted file was overwritten and gone forever.
Many logs are written to during bootup and can overwrite deleted file space, so the less activity performed on a drive after file deletion, the better the chance of recovering those files.

I too would like to know the name of that recovery program. I have one tucked away someplace but right now I don't even remember the name of it.*Confused
