“Few months ago, I connected external storage device to Windows system where I have stored all work oriented files. While deleting some unwanted files I unintentionally selected all files and cleared Recycle Bin without inspecting its contents. Sadly, I don't have single work file with me now. However, I know the date I erased them. So can anyone tell me how to restore those files from specific date on Windows system? Suggestions are welcomed!!!”
