How to recover a deleted File

If you’re unsure whether you permanently deleted a file, look around for it first. Try performing a search in File Explorer. Hopefully, you just misplaced the file and you can find it again.

You might also want to check your external storage drives, such as flash drives, HDDs, and SDDs, in case you moved the file there and don’t remember.

You can also peek inside the Recycle Bin. If you have a lot of files in there, you can use the search box in the top-right corner of the window to search for the file.

You can also right-click in the Recycle Bin window and select Sort By > Date Deleted to more easily view recently deleted files.

If your file was stored in a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox, log into your account on the service’s website and check your deleted files there—you may find the file is still recoverable. This is the cloud storage version of the Recycle Bin.

On OneDrive, for instance, click the “Recycle Bin”—the trash can icon—in the left sidebar to see your recently deleted files. Keep in mind that these will only remain in OneDrive for 30 days if it is your personal OneDrive.

Windows File History tool is useful for easily recovering deleted files and older versions of files from an external drive. It backs up files from specific locations, such as Libraries, Desktop, Contacts, and Favorites. If you enabled File History (it’s disabled by default), all you have to do is use it to recover the file.

File History saves the state of the included folders at a specific time. That means you will be reverting the entire folder to a previous version, and you may lose your recent files. Use this option if the deleted file is extremely important.

To do that, open the Start Menu, type File History in the search bar, and click it when it appears in the search results. Next, click “Restore Personal Files” in the left sidebar. Then, select the folder with the missing file and click the “Restore”—a green button with the restore icon—to restore the previous version of that folder.

Microsoft has a tool for recovering deleted and corrupted files on Windows. It’s called Windows File Recover, and it’s an easy-to-use command-line tool that ensures your files aren’t permanently lost.

Once you install Windows File Recovery, launch it by opening the Start Menu, typing Windows File Recover in the search box, and selecting it when it appears in the search results. You need to know which commands to use to find the deleted file, but since this is not an in-depth tutorial on how to use this tool, I will just use an example of finding a find named report.docx.

The command for this would look like this:

winfr C: D: /n \Users\CHIFUNDO\Documents\report.docx

In the above command, C: is the drive to check for the deleted file (source drive), and D: is the drive to store it once found (destination drive). The /n is called a switch, which is a modifier that tells the command to target specific files or folders. The file path afterward tells Windows File Recovery where to find the file on the C: drive.

Using Windows File Recovery to recover a file on Windows.

After the command runs successfully, check the destination drive for the recovered file. Keep in mind that this process can take a few minutes to complete.

How to check if your computer is using all CPU cores?

To determine if your computer is effectively utilizing all CPU cores, you can use several methods depending on your operating system:

Windows:

1> Task Manager:

  • Right-click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager” or press Ctrl * Shift * Esc
  • * Go to the “Performance” tab
  • * Under “CPU,” you should see a graph showing usage for each core. If all cores are active, you’ll see activity across multiple graphs (one per core)
  • 2> Resource Monitor:
  • * Open “Resource Monitor” by searching for it in the Start menu
  • * Navigate to the “CPU” tab
  • * Look at the “CPU Usage” section to see how much of each core is being utilized.
  • macOS:
  • 1> Activity Monitor:
  • * Open “Activity Monitor” (usually found in Applications > Utilities)
  • * Click on the “CPU” tab
  • * You’ll see a graph displaying CPU usage. Each core is represented separately. If all cores are in use, you’ll see activity across multiple cores.
  • Linux (using command-line tools):
  • 1> htop:
  • * Install htop if it’s not already installed (sudo apt install htop on Debian-based systems).
  • * Launch htop from the terminal.
  • * You’ll see a detailed view of CPU usage, including individual core usage.
  • 2> top:
  • * Run top in the terminal.
  • * Press 1 (the number one) to display individual CPU core usage.
  • Checking in all cases:
  • * Activity Indicators: Most monitoring tools will show real-time activity for each core. If you see spikes or sustained usage across multiple cores, it indicates that your system is utilizing all available CPU cores.
  • * CPU Load: A high overall CPU load (close to 100% across all cores) during intensive tasks like rendering, compiling, or running multiple applications simultaneously suggests that all cores are actively used.

By using these methods, you can effectively determine if your computer is utilizing all CPU cores and monitor how they are being utilized. This information is particularly useful for ensuring that your system is performing optimally under heavy computational loads.
