Recover deleted files on a flash drive

Have you ever unplugged a USB drive while some files were still transferring only to discover that you’ve lost not just the files that were still in transfer but also files that were already on the USB drive? You certainly wouldn’t be the first person in the world, which is why we’ve decided to put together 3 ways how to recover deleted files from USB drives on Windows computers.

Reasons for USB Data Loss

In addition to unplugging a USB drive while it’s still in use, there are several other reasons why data sometimes disappears without warning from USB drives, including:

• Accidental file deletion
• Malware infection
• Data fragmentation
• Unsuitable conditions (too much moisture, heat, etc.)
• Hardware failure
• Software bug
• Problems with the supply of power to USB ports
