Restore Video Files from External Hard Drive

“Hi friends, yesterday while watching videos from my external hard drive on computer I accidentally deleted the entire video folder. I don’t know what to do now; I lost my entire favourite video folder. I had even checked in Recycle Bin folder, but I couldn’t see them in it. Later I came to know that the deleted video files from external devices will bypass the Recycle Bin folder, hence, the deleted videos are not present in Recycle Bin. Is there any solution for recovering these deleted video files from external hard drive? If you know it, then kindly help me please. I am grateful to you!!!”

Such mistakes do happen accidentally, so users need to be careful while using or accessing data from external hard drive on computer. If you have taken proper backup of these deleted video files, then you can easily restore them back. If you don’t have backup or lost backup file itself, then only way to recover deleted video files from external hard drive is using efficient video recovery software. Prior to using video recovery program, let us see some of the other causes for loss of video files from external hard disk as given below:

• Accidentally formatting the external hard disk may lead to video file loss
• Virus infection on external hard disk may erase some of your preserved video files

There are several unpredictable situations where video files might get deleted from external hard disk. Many people think that deleted video files from external hard drive might get deleted permanently, it’s really wrong imagination.

Deleted video file content will remain intact before its space is occupied by new file content on portable hard drive. Hence, you can recover such deleted or lost video files with the help of apt video file recovery tool soon after video loss disaster took place.
