“Yesterday morning when I have switched on my computer, I observed many unwanted folders stored on the desktop. To clean it and look good, I thought of deleting unwanted folders from the desktop. Usually, I delete files using ‘Shift + Delete’ keys and this time too, I applied same method. After deletion, I noticed that I have accidentally deleted a folder containing important files of my work. What can I do to get that folder back from my desktop?”

Do you have same question which I have framed above? If yes, then probably this page might help you to solve your problem. Generally when you wish to delete a folder from your desktop, you can delete it using several methods. Most users select folder and press upon “Delete” button. Files deleted using only “Delete” option will be redirected to Recycle Bin, so that in future if you find need of deleted files, you can restore them back by just using “Restore” option from Recycle Bin. However, there are few users who use “Shift + Delete” keys so that they need not delete files again by visiting Recycle Bin folder.

In Windows, hitting shift and delete keys together will immediately erase selected file, which bypasses Recycle Bin. But, file that is permanently deleted will not be immediately removed from your computer hard drive; instead, the hard drive sector where deleted file is stored is set to permit new data to be written, but unless and until new file is stored over the space, the old file can be retrieved by using reliable file recovery software.
