Whether you've accidentally deleted files, experienced a hard drive failure, or have a computer that won't turn on, A+ PC provides data recovery services in Lancaster, PA to help you explore options for retrieving your important information.
​

Deleted File and Lost Data Recovery
Accidentally deleting an important file can happen in seconds. You might empty the Recycle Bin, delete an important folder, overwrite a document, or discover that photos and files are missing after a software issue.
​
Fortunately, deleting a file does not always mean the information is permanently lost.
Depending on the storage device and what happened after deletion, file recovery software or other recovery methods may be able to retrieve some or all of the missing information.
​
A+ PC can help investigate situations involving:
-
Accidentally deleted documents
-
Missing photos and videos
-
Deleted folders
-
Files missing after a system error
-
Lost data following software problems
-
Files that no longer open correctly
-
Data lost during computer troubleshooting
​
Important: If you've accidentally deleted files, stop saving new information to the affected drive. Continued use can overwrite data and reduce the chances of successful recovery. On some SSDs, deleted data may become unrecoverable very quickly.
