How to recover a deleted document that was on a USB stick?

[Guest havasu]

I am not sure if this is the right forum; however, I hope somebody can help

me. I accidentally deleted a document from my USB stick - it's gone.....

 

Is there ANY way I can get it back, restore it, find it....?????

 

PLEASE, help is very much appreciated. Where does the stuff go from the USB

sticks once you delete it?

 

Thanks

Do not write anything to the USB stick. Get PCI File Recovery

to undelete the file:

Thanks Uwe, if I do this does anything happen to my other stuff on the USB

stick?

Also, the USB is in a different computer and I will download the software

onto my laptop - still works?

 

Thanks again

 

BTW - Are you German?

Thanks - I tried both versions and found the document. After saving; however,

I can't open it. It tells me something about to Open with text recovery but

can't find that anywhere.

That sounds like a message from the word processing software.

 

If it is a Word document it may be damaged, hence the message.

 

Try using the program help file.

There are many utilities that can undelete files from a USB stick. SanDisk

do one of their own available on their web site (I haven't had to try it

yet, so can't comment on its efficacy). I can be possible to recover a

deleted file intact even after further data has been written, but it is

better not to risk it.

You can try to recover your document with Easy File Undelete:

 

http://www.munsoft.com/EasyFileUndelete/

 

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software

either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
