After you empty the Recycle Bin, the system simply marks the space previously occupied by the files as available for new data, but the actual data still exist. This means you can recover permanently deleted files from Recycle Bin with the right tools.
MyRecover can scan the disk for leftover data and attempt to restore deleted files from Recycle Bin after empty, as long as they haven't been overwritten. This makes it possible to recover files from emptied Recycle Bin, although success rates decrease the longer the space remains available and is used for new data.
This is a 3-step process to recover deleted files from the emptied Recycle Bin using MyRecover.
If you remember where the deleted files are located, then you can scan that drive; if not, scan the whole disk.
Then, click Recycle Bin on the left sidebar to find the files you need to recover from Recycle Bin. Or, you can type the file name to search for the target file.
Finally, preview the target file in the right sidebar. After ensuring the integrity of the files, click “Recover”.
