How to recover a recently deleted file?

I need to recover a file i accidently deleted from my computer. I found a recovery program but it is 70 dollars, are there any cheaper programs or ways to do it without buying software?

1. Did you look in your Recycle Bin ?
2. Try your recycle bin, if your recycle bin still has trash then you have a chance to get the recently delted file back. Open recycle bin, then click the file and look for restore file.

It's easy to start up and use, but adjusting its settings can quickly get technical. I tested it and was able to find deleted photos I had forgotten about. In fact, the program listed hundreds of other files that I had deleted as well. You get to choose which files to rescue. Set some time aside to run PC Inspector File Recovery. Depending on what it finds, the scan can take 30 minutes to an hour. But the files recovered are well worth the wait.

But the good news is, it's probably still lurking on the hard drive. You just need special software to recover the deleted files. And this program will do the trick. I tested FreeUndelete and found thousands of files that had been deleted. They had not been overwritten. Once you find the files, you can opt to recover the ones you want. You should read the instructions for the program before starting. And it's best if you install it to and run it from a thumb drive. That way, you won't overwrite your files.
