Accidental data deletions are common. It’s not only about the mistaken deletion of a folder.
Accidental data deletion on an SSD can occur due to:
- Software issues: Glitches, bugs, or crashes causing data loss.
- Virus or malware: Malicious software corrupting or deleting files.
- Keyboard shortcuts: Unintended use of permanent delete shortcuts.
- Miscommunication: Shared users mistakenly delete important files.
- Overwriting files: Accidentally saving a new file with the same name as an existing one
Thankfully, SSD data recovery is possible.
What Happens When You Accidentally Delete SSD Data?
Deleting files from an SSD does not cause immediate and irreversible loss of data.
When a file or folder is deleted, the following happens.
- Removal of reference from the index: The operating system removes its reference from the file system index. This makes the data appear to have been removed.
- Memory space marked ‘free’: The relevant memory space is marked as available or "free" by the operating system. This allows new data to be written in its place.
- Original data remains intact: The actual data still exists on the SSD until it is overwritten by new data. This means it’s still recoverable.
- Original data could soon be overwritten: New data saved to the SSD may overwrite this memory space making recovery more difficult or impossible.
Specialized data recovery software or professional services can retrieve deleted files or folders from your SSD.
