Lost Files? Stop and Think First

Deleted or missing files aren't always gone. But the more you keep using that drive, the more likely the space gets overwritten — which is when recovery becomes impossible. The first move matters most.

The instinct to 'keep trying' is usually what destroys recoverable data. Deleted files aren't erased right away — the space is just marked reusable — so every new write to the drive can overwrite the very files you're trying to save.

Do this right away

• Stop using the drive immediately
• Avoid DIY recovery tools that can make it worse
• Get a professional diagnosis of what's recoverable

The sooner a drive is looked at, the better the odds. If you've lost important files, power it down and ask InfixCorp about recovery options.
