Perplexity and Burstiness: How to Recover Deleted Files in Visual Studio 2019

Have you ever accidentally deleted important files in Visual Studio 2019? It’s okay, don’t panic! Even the best of us make mistakes. But fear not, there are several ways to recover deleted files in Visual Studio 2019. Here are some steps you can take to get your missing files back.

Step 1: Check Your Recycle Bin

The first place you should look for your deleted files in the Recycle Bin. Often when you delete files from Visual Studio 2019, they can be found there. You can easily recover your lost files by opening the Recycle Bin folder and searching for the files you want to restore. Right-click on each file and select the “Restore” option to retrieve them.

Step 2: Use Visual Studio 2019 Recovery Tool

If you can’t find your deleted files in the Recycle Bin, try using the built-in Visual Studio 2019 recovery tool. To access this tool, go to the “File” menu and select “Open” > “File Recovery.” This will open the File Recovery window where you can select the deleted files you want to recover. Once you’ve chosen the files, click on the “Recover” button to restore them.

Step 3: Utilize Data Recovery Software

If the previous steps don’t work, try using a data recovery software. There are several free and paid data recovery software tools available online like EaseUS, Disk Drill, and Recuva. These programs scan your hard drive and recover deleted files, including those deleted from Visual Studio 2019.

Step 4: Check Your Backup

If you have a backup system in place, you might be able to recover your deleted files from there. Visual Studio 2019 has a built-in function to create backups of your projects. Check if you have any backup files by going to the “File” menu and selecting “Open” > “Recent Projects and Solutions.” Look for the project you want to recover, and click on the drop-down arrow next to it. From the drop-down list, select the version you want to open.

Conclusion

It can be frustrating to lose important files, but in Visual Studio 2019, there are several ways to recover them. Remember to always check the Recycle Bin first, use the built-in recovery tool, try data recovery software or check your backup system. To avoid potential file loss, save your work regularly. With these steps, you should be able to get back to coding in no time.
