How to Restore Files Deleted from Command Prompt?

Recover Files Deleted Using DOS Command Prompt

“Hi everyone, I am facing a problem guys. Actually I’m not much aware of MS-DOS and today I tried using it. I noticed some useless files resided in a folder along with important documents on my Windows system. I tried to delete those unwanted files through DOS command prompt and unfortunately I typed a wrong filename and deleted an important file. After deleting I thought of restoring it back from Recycle Bin but I was not able to find it there. I don’t know where the file is and I need that file at any cost, it’s very important for me. Someone please suggest me how to recover files deleted using DOS command prompt?”

Actually many computer users have a misconception that every deleted file will be moved to Recycle Bin. But in reality there are situations in which files bypass Recycle Bin and it doesn’t mean that your files are lost permanently. Deleted files will be intact with hard drive, yet the pointer value of those files that helps to access them will be removed from file allocation table and even OS will not be able to locate those files. In case you have deleted files in MS-DOS 5.0 to 6.22 versions then it is possible to restore files using “undelete” command. But if you are using higher versions then you need to employ any reliable Windows File recovery tool. Before that, stop using your system to save new files in order to avoid overwriting of deleted files, because once files are overwritten with any new data then recovery is impossible.
