Recover Deleted Files in Mac, Windows and Linux

Have you Deleted something important from your computer, do not worry go through this post and explore the ways in which you can recover your deleted files on your Device, I sure this post will be of much help for you.
Yes it is possible to recover important data or file even when it is deleted from the Recycle bin in Windows/Linux or Trash in Mac.
Firstly, understanding what happens when you delete any file permanently. What your OS does is , it assign the space as free. It implies that your Data is still on your computer but part of disk on which your data is present is registered to be overwritten whenever the space is needed. You can recover the data which is not overwritten, it will be a good file and you can use it ( you can recover the overwritten data also but it will come in the category of Bad file so you cannot use it.). So when you realize that your have deleted something important and want to recover than stop doing things on your computer like copying files, intallling and uninstalling softwares etc. Take a breadth and search for the required software. It is better to have  recovery software pre-installed or Intall the software on USB media.
