  2. recover deleted data in Drive C

    If you accidentally deleted your .ost data file while resetting Outlook and forgot to back it up, there are a few things you can try to recover it:

    Check ‘Deleted Items’ Folder

    When you mistakenly delete any of your Outlook emails, they reach the ‘Deleted Items’ or ‘Junk Email’ folder.

    If you can’t find the emails in Deleted Items folder, look for them in the Recoverable Items folder. It is a hidden folder. Emails are stored in this folder when,

    • Emails are removed from Deleted Items folder.
    • The Deleted Items folder is already empty.
    • Emails are deleted permanently from Inbox or another folder using the Shift + Del keys.
    To recover emails from the Recoverable Items folder, follow the given steps:

    • First, ensure that you’re connected to the mail server.
    • Next, go to Deleted Items folder.
    • Now, click ‘Recover Deleted Items from Server’, given on the left top corner adjacent to the New Items option.
    • A window will pop up on the screen showing deleted emails with the date and time.
    • Choose Restore Selected Items and then click OK to proceed.
    If you delete the offline Outlook Data File located at drive: C \Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook, don’t worry! Most data remains on the server and gets synced automatically when you get online. Furthermore, if you’re using an Outlook account with Exchange Server in Cached Exchange Mode, you can try the following steps for recovery:

    • Open Outlook account and navigate to Send/Receive.
    • Now, click Update Folder.
    Lastly you can try Professional data recovery software to recover your deleted emails . There are various data recovery software available online that you can try .

  3. Accidentally deleted user account - urgent need to restore WIndows 10

    I accidentally deleted the user account that I was using (not admin) and now can't fix the issue.

    So, I followed these instructions (sort of):

    • Step 2: Choose Change your account name.
    • Step 3: Type a new name in the box and tap Change Name.
    • Step 1: Open Run by Windows+R, enter lusrmgr.msc and hit OK to open Local Users and Groups.
    • Step 2: Open the Users folder, right-click a user and select Rename in the menu.

    I renamed the user. But then, stupid me, it didn't change it when I checked the start menu. So I then, instead of changing the name back, I deleted that user (which I was actually logged in as - it didn't ask for a password or anything either). It then removed
    it from the list (there was a list of 3 items to choose from - Administrator, Guest , and the account I was using. I deleted that account (Liam it was called)

    I then stupidly decided to log off and restarted the computer. I then tried to login, and the user account it came up with was Liam - but obvsiouly as I'd deleted the user, when I typed in the password nothing happened). But because I deleted that user in
    the way above, it seems to have gone completely. What can I do to restore it?

    I've tried system restore but it fails. So can't get back to a restore point.

    It's a bit of a pickle really as it's an important user account on my work network and has folders on it that we need to function. I can't access the pc via another, as when I click 'Liam' it just can't connect, says it can't find it. I think what I've done
    has really broken the computer....

    Any help will be gratefully received.

    so I accidentally deleted all of my data off of my local drive how can I restore it?

    Deleted file restore software.

    I think I get it.

    Just to confirm - So you had 2x 160's. Copied 80GB worth of stuff off them and put that onto your server.

    Then you built a RAID array on those two drives (so all data is gone off them).

    Now how did the data get removed from your server? Did it copy in the first place? Or did you accidentally delete it or something?
