As long as you open your Windows recycle bin and restore those files before you empty the bin you can still see the original file name and restore them to their original location. Once you empty your recycle bin, those files are given coded names buy Windows. The only way to recognize those files after a quality data recovery tool has found them it is to check the pathway the file originally used and the time and date stamped on the file as last modified. Very few file recovery tools include this information. One program that does list this information is File Finder.

Fully 95% of all files found by File Finder are recoverable. To recover deleted files from recycle bin storage you need only check the pathway for folders marked recycler. These are the files recovered from the Windows recycle bin. Of course, more complete, illustrated instructions are given with File Finder program.
