Question

Create a test file and then delete it using Shift + Delete from the keyboard. Now recover the file using the methods you have explored at Activity 1.3 (deleted data or data from a corrupted device).

Answer 1

I created a test file and deleted it using Shift + Delete. Since this permanently deletes the file without sending it to the Recycle Bin, I tried to recover it using data-recovery methods.

Steps followed:

1. Created a test file and saved it on the computer.
2. Selected the file and pressed Shift + Delete.
3. Confirmed the deletion.
4. Used data-recovery software to scan the drive for deleted files.
5. Located the deleted test file in the scan results.
6. Selected the file and used the Recover option.
7. Saved the recovered file to a different storage location.
8. Opened the recovered file and verified that the data was successfully restored.
