Identify the original location
The Recycle Bin is only an intermediate location. After it is emptied, scan the drive where the file existed before deletion, not the Recycle Bin icon. Desktop and Documents are commonly on the system drive.
Scan and recover
Select the original volume in Super Recovery and inspect recognizable folders or deleted records first. Continue with a deeper scan only when necessary. Preview useful candidates before selecting them.
Save recovered files to another drive or volume. Writing them to the source may overwrite data that has not been found.
Be careful with the system drive
Windows, browsers, synchronization tools, and updates keep writing to the system drive. Act quickly when files came from Desktop or Documents. SSD TRIM can also reduce the chance of recovery.
Common question
Should I scan the Recycle Bin or the old folder?
Scan the volume where the file was stored before deletion. The source remains the original volume after the Recycle Bin is emptied.
