Recovering a deleted partition on Windows 10 can be a daunting task, especially if you’re not sure where to start. However, with the right tools and a little know-how, it’s quite easy to recover a deleted partition and get your important files and data back.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps for recovering a deleted partition on Windows 10, so you can get your system back up and running in no time.
First, let’s talk about what happens when you delete a partition from your Windows 10 system. When you delete a partition, you’re essentially telling your computer to remove the designated space on your hard drive that was previously reserved for that partition. This means that all the data and files that were stored in that partition will be deleted as well.
However, just because the data has been deleted doesn’t mean it’s gone forever. When you delete a file or partition, your computer simply marks the space on your hard drive as available for use, but the actual data remains on the drive until it is overwritten by new data. This means that if you act quickly, you may be able to recover the deleted partition and the data that was on it.
To recover a deleted partition on Windows 10, you’ll need to use a data recovery tool. There are many data recovery tools available, but one of the best for this purpose is EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. This tool is easy to use and offers a high success rate for recovering deleted partitions and files.
To use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, follow these steps:
- Download and install the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard on your Windows 10 system.
- Launch the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and select the drive where the deleted partition was located.
- Click “Scan” to begin the recovery process. The EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard will scan your hard drive and look for any recoverable data.
- After the scan is complete, you’ll see a list of recoverable files and partitions. Select the deleted partition that you want to recover, and click “Recover” to begin the recovery process.
- Choose a location to save the recovered files and partitions, and then click “OK” to start the recovery process.
- Wait for the recovery process to complete, and then check the designated location to access your recovered files and partitions.
Once the recovery process is complete, you should be able to access your recovered files and partitions as if they had never been deleted. Keep in mind that the success rate for recovering deleted partitions and files depends on a variety of factors, such as how long it has been since the partition was deleted, how much data has been written to the drive since the deletion, and the condition of the hard drive itself.
In some cases, you may not be able to recover a deleted partition using EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. If this is the case, there are a few other options you can try. For example, you can try using a different data recovery tool, such as Recuva or MiniTool Partition Recovery. You can also try using the built-in disk-management tools in Windows 10 to try to recover the deleted partition.
To use the built-in disk-management tools in Windows 10 to recover a deleted partition, follow these steps:
- Open the Start menu and type “disk management” into the search box.
- Select “Create and format hard disk partitions” from the list of results.
- In the Disk Management window, right-click on the unallocated space where the deleted partition was located, and select “New Simple Volume”.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new simple volume in the unallocated space. This will effectively recreate the deleted partition and make the data on it accessible again.
- Once the new simple volume has been created, you can access the data on the recovered partition by going to “My Computer” or “This PC” and selecting the new drive letter that has been assigned to the recovered partition.
In some cases, the data on the recovered partition may not be accessible or may be corrupted. If this is the case, you can try using a data recovery tool to scan the recovered partition and recover any lost or damaged files.
It’s also important to note that recovering a deleted partition does not guarantee that all the data on the partition will be recoverable. As mentioned earlier, the success rate for data recovery depends on a variety of factors, and some data may be permanently lost. However, using a data recovery tool like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard can greatly increase your chances of recovering your important files and data.
In case you still have difficulty recovering your data, you can contact a professional data recovery service to help you out. Professional data recovery services have specialized tools and expertise that can often recover lost or damaged files, even in extreme cases. However, be prepared to pay a premium for such services as they are not cheap.
