Hi,

There are softwares that you can use to recover your deleted files. But first, make sure that no other activity will be done on your external hard drive such as copying or creating new files, running a scandisk, any! It may affect the recovering process when done. Do not make any other task or open any application or programs that may also hinder the whole process.

Here are some of the softwares that you can use:

Piriform Recuva

Pc Inspector File Recovery

Recover My Files

Choose the software that you best think will solve your issue. Most free softwares doesn’t have all the capabilities of a purchased software.

Good luck!

File recovery is a 50 50 chance of being recover but I think you can recover them all because it is still not too late but first before having a software to recover your files, Please insert or connect your external drive to your laptop and if the external drive is already connected you must check the recycle bin it might have stored there you just didn't know but if not you might have to use a program to recover your files, You may use a program to restore the data that has been lost Auslogic file recovery is the program that I am using for my file recovery
