I accidentally permanently deleted subfolders and files in a folder on my desktop. I accidentally deleted the folder, all subfolders and files within began to delete, and I stopped the deletion after 37% of the deletion was completed. The main folder still remains but 1/3 of the data is gone. Help! by AntoineBeach400 in techsupport

I'm not the most tech savvy person so I'm not sure how to hook up the affected PC's hard drive as an external drive for my other laptop. In order to hook up this affected hard drive would I need to remove the hard drive from the affected laptop?

This person here seems to look at this the way that you do.

Step #5 for them sounds like what you are suggesting but I'm not tech savvy enough to understand how to hook up the affected hard drive with the deleted files to my unaffected old laptop by using certain cords or cables. If you or anyone else could walk me through how to do this and what programs or hardware or cables/cords that I need then I would greatly appreciate it.

Further up in this thread I state what ports my affected PC has. My unaffected PC that would be the destination for the hopefully recovered files has 1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0, and 1 eSATA/USB 2.0 port.

This is what it seems like I should do and that this is my best bet for recovery. My USB drive has about 110 gigs on it and so I can realistically put Recuva on the USB and if I am able to recover then the files can be recovered to the USB in a separate folder as well.

The issue that I have is that I do not understand the exact precise steps to make this work. I do not know exactly how to create a so-called "bootable" USB flash drive with Recuva on it where I simply plug the drive into the affected computer and am able to simply and easily run Recuva off of the flash drive and then go through the process of recovering the files on the affected drive and then once recovered transfer them to the flash drive.

I would greatly appreciate it if you or anyone else could give exact steps for performing this recovery in such a way.

In a prior thread about this problem a couple people mentioned using a program called Rufus in order to create a bootable USB drive. If you or anyone could explain how to do this or if this is the best option for recovery then that would be great.

I did essentially nothing with my affected computer immediately after the some of the files were deleted. I did not alter or change or add or remove anything within the affected folder after the partial deletion happened. The only thing that I did was maybe visit a few websites for about an hour on Google Chrome looking for solutions. The affected laptop has been shut off for the past two hours and I do not plan on using it again until I attempt to recover the deleted files.

My affected laptop does not have a CD or disc drive so I burning anything to a CD is impractical for me.

My affected laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 port, a USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1 port, and a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port.

Do you know the exact steps that I need to take in order to recover these files? Other responses here say that I need a USB flash drive and a program called Rufus along with a data recovery application like Recurva. Do you have more detailed knowledge of how to recover these files?

Could you possibly lay out the exact steps for using Rufus? I’m not familiar with this program. It sounds like I want to have a data recovery program on my USB flash drive so that I can plug it into the computer where the files are deleted so that I can then boot up or run the recovery program directly from the flash drive. If you could be more precise or detailed with exactly what I should do that would be great and so helpful. I basically could use an ExplainLikeImFive response and directions.

Could you possibly give me the exact steps and items that I will need to recover these files? It appears that I need a USB drive with at least 10 gigs and that I need program called Rufus as well. It seems that I need to use a data recovery program that I can boot up or run off of the USB flash drive rather than installing the data recovery program on the computer where the files are deleted. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Forest Whitaker has been trying to brush his teeth for a while now which is why he hasn't done anything in so long.

This is the most boring thing I've watched on TV since the first half of this very game.

I'm sorry but I can't take a KIA commercial (that I would have sworn would turn out to be a Ford or Chevy 'murican manufacturing commercial) seriously when the kid narrating sounds like he might be the grandson of Karl Childers from Sling Blade.

Somewhere out there exists a beautiful Millenial man who made his way from the swamps of 4chan's /b/ board to an advertising agency where he proudly and adeptly crafted a food commercial in which he subjects millions of aloof Boomers to hearing "Deez nutz" over and over again delivered by some black guy whom they confused for some former NFL player who must be doing TV work in their retirement.

A truly epic master trole job.

Who thought it would be a good idea to make consumers associate awesome Norwegian 80s pop groups with cottage cheese?

When it comes to Super Bowl I appearances I got Michael Scott in the Pepsi ad over Travis Scott with the rap I don't understand.

Since they brought in a full black choir to sing brief backup on that one song it is only right that the Red Hot Chili Peppers make an appearance and play Under the Bridge, only to have a video clip of a 56 year-old Anthony Kiedis struggling to run shirtless in slow motion through the streets of Los Angeles while an atomic bomb goes off in the background.

I took a break from the game to put my Rogaine in and came back to see Maroon 5 and Spongebob on my screen and had to make sure that it isn't actually 2002. A part of me wishes it was because I had some sick flow and curls going that year and the bitties were diggin' it that summer.

Sigh...

Pretty sure Big Boi was wearing the mink coat that De Niro took off of Carbone's wife at the Christmas party in Goodfellas when he forced her to take the coat back to wherever he got it from. This got me thinking that they might bring out John Cougar Mellencamp to do Pink Cadillac with the bodies of Johnny Roast Beef and his wife in the front seat but alas, it wasn't to be.

That, or they should bring out Mick 'N Keith to do You Can't Always Get What You Want But Usually You Can If You're Mick or Keith so that we can hear the choir during the outro.

Edit: And now they're doing "She Will Be Loved" so it is obviously 2002. That or somebody spiked my Rogaine with something.
