Way 1: Restore deleted PDF files from Recycle Bin

If you didn’t delete the PDF files by Shift + Delete or PowerShell, the deleted PDF files would generally go to the Recycle Bin. So, check the Recycle Bin before taking any further steps.

Open the Recycle Bin and search the deleted PDF file. If you find the PDF file, right-click it and select Restore from the context menu. The deleted PDF file will be immediately restored to its original location. If the deleted PDF file is not in the Recycle Bin, move to the next method.

Way 2: Recover deleted PDF files through File History

The second step is to check if your Windows 10 system keeps any file history, from which you can recover the deleted PDF files.

Step 1: Open the File Explorer, and then navigate to the folder where the PDF files were stored before they were deleted.

Step 2: Click on the History option on the top toolbar, and the File History window will appear.

Step 3: Double click to open each folder to see if it contains the deleted PDF files. Once you find the deleted PDF files, select them and click the Restore button. Then the deleted PDF files will be restored to their original location.

Way 3: Restore deleted PDF files with Windows Backups

Searching for the Windows backup is also worth a try.

Step 1: Navigate to Control Panel > Backup and Restore (Windows 7).

Step 2: When the next window pops up, click Restore my files.

Step 3: If there is backup shown here, select it. If not, browse or search the backup from your local disk or external storage device. Of course, if you have never set up a backup, you will not be able to search for the backup file.

Step 4: Select where you want to restore your files. Windows will begin restoring the files to the selected location. After the restore is complete, you should find the deleted PDF file is back.

Way 4: Recover deleted PDF files using iSumsoft Data Refixer
