Steps to Recover Data Using Stellar Windows Data Recovery
Below are steps along with screenshots, on how the user can effectively use the Stellar Windows Data Recovery software.
Data To Recover – Before retrieving lost data, the user must select what they want to retrieve, and then start the process. The utility allows the recovery of different data items like Emails, Photos, Audio, Videos, Documents, etc. The user just needs to select the items they want to recover.
Select Location – The second major step is to select the location from where you would want to retrieve data. The users can recover from different locations including Desktop, Documents, etc. In case, you don’t remember any specific location, you may select the whole drive, but it may considerably increase the time to recover the files. In our case, we deleted a folder named page-monitor-master from the Downloads folder.
Scan and Recovery – Now, there are two types of scans – Normal Scan and Deep Scan. If the user is unable to locate the deleted file using a normal scan, the user should do a Deep Scan. it will take time but will most probably recover the required file.
The user can enable the Preview toggle, to see the preview of the image, or any file before recovering it.
The Scan takes place in five different phases, the first phase simply aggregates data and searches for files. The scan shows the Scan status including the total time left, time elapsed, and number of files found. After the first scan, the system automatically starts scanning deeper and deeper for deleted files.
The overall time taken depends on the size of the disk folder or files present. In case the performance of the Windows PC is affected, the user can Stop the Scan. Upon successful scanning, the Scan will automatically stop and will show the number of files found, and recoverable data present.
Select Data and Recover: The user can easily select folders and files from the scanned data, that the user would want to recover. Simply press Recover and select the recovery location.
We deleted the page-monitor-master folder earlier, Before initiating the test, later we found that the software rWe deleted the “page-monitor-master folder” earlier before starting the test, and during the initial phase, the software conducted a quick scan of the folder. It was encouraging to see that the software managed to partially recover the folder. While we could not immediately locate the entire deleted folder, we decided to proceed with a Deep Scan. The Deep Scan proved to be highly effective, allowing us to successfully retrieve all of the folder’s contents. Notably, the entire scanning process for the entire C drive was completed in less than five minutes, which is truly impressive.
