When you save changes to a file, you overwrite the data previously stored on the file. Sometimes we get into a huge heap of trouble when we do this, like say when you accidentally save over your wedding picture with a short soft porn movie called “Chastity”. Well luckily for you if this was on a memory stick you may be in the clear. There are a few programs you can DL for free that can restore removed data from such a drive. Heres a quick and easy how to for you to follow:
Instructions:
-
Restore overwritten files using a freeware program, such as EASEUS, Smart Recovery 4.5 or FileRestorePlus. Download the program and save it on your computer’s desktop; double-click the program’s icon to launch it.
-
Insert your memory stick into the computer’s USB port. Choose the memory stick from the file recovery program’s drive selection dialog box as the drive to be scanned.
-
Wait for the program to scan through the memory stick for deleted, formatted and overwritten files. The program will generate a list of files it finds.
-
Select the overwritten files you want to retrieve and click on the “Restore” tab. The files will be returned to the memory stick.
