How to Recover Shift Deleted Files in Windows 10/8/7

Regular Delete vs Shift Delete - What's the difference?

Normally computer users may prefer either Delete key or Shift + Delete keys to delete unwanted data. When you choose delete key to remove data from your Windows computer, file would be redirected to Recycle Bin. Advantage of this is, if you feel that you have erased some important data then it can be restored back from Recycle Bin at any time. Whereas deleting files using shift-delete keys will make them to bypass Recycle Bin. So, that one cannot restore it back manually.

What actually happens if you delete files using Shift + Delete keys?

Usually you will be having a misconception that when you delete files with Shift + Delete keys data will be removed permanently from computer’s hard drive. Whenever you add new files to computer, a record of each file will be stored in File Allocation Table (FAT).
