Undo empty recycle bin vista

Step 1. Step 3. When the properties window prompts you, check the "Date modified" column. And then select the most relevant option and click on the "Restore" button. Tap on Start key and find Control Panel. Step 2. Choose the drive that had the permanently deleted file or folder, and then click "configure". A window will pop up. You need to select the first one "Restore system settings and previous versions of files" and click on "OK".

Step 4. Now go back to the folder where you lost your files and check it. In case you need to restore to an older version, right-click on it, select Restore previous versions, choose the right one, and click on Restore. You won't have any previous version if the System Protection is disabled.

Forget about it and try other solutions. It doesn't matter if you have no backup history because Command Prompt will hopefully give you a chance to recover deleted files from recycle bin. But it's a little bit complicated and risky. Be careful. If you have no tech background, think twice before you start.

Cons : only thing is that the file names are not the same as the original. It takes patience to check all the files to find what you exactly want. And then a Command Prompt would pop up. Bin and press the Enter key. Next, type cd and press the Tab key. After that, you'll get a directory name.
