Updated on January 03, 2020

I have saved 500MB of important files on my desktop including files, pictures, compressed files, songs, videos and many more stuffs. Accidentally I deleted my files using Shift Delete keys combination. I am badly in need of erased files. Moreover, I went on frantic search on desktop to find my deleted files unfortunately I didn’t find any. Can anyone suggest me some proper way to get back my files from Windows HDD. Thanks in advance!!!”
