Normally right-clicking the files within the recycle bin, we can easily restore them
back to their original location. Unfortunately, it not possible incase of USB Flash drives. These files are never dumped into the recycle bin
when you delete them. Usually, we use a third-party recovery program to recover those lost files. Here is a cool program iBin.
Steps to recover deleted files from USB flash drive with iBin
iBin isn’t a recovery
program. It is a recycle bin created specifically for USB flash drive. With
this, you now have option to dump the files into the recycle bin in case you
need to restore them back.
Step.1:After downloading iBin extract it, you need to copy it into
your USB drive. Then double-click the exe file to install the program. It will
immediately sit in the system tray monitoring any delete action performed in the
USB drive.
Everytime you delete
a file from the USB drive, iBin replaces the default delete confirmation
dialog with this one below:
Make sure that you select the “Dump into iBin” when you delete files. Then, if
you need to get them back, click the icon that sits in the tray.
Step 2.Highlight the
files that you want to restore, then hit the “Recycle Data Selected” button.
That’s it.
There are hotkeys as well to simplify the deletion task:
- Win + Del to directly dump the selected files.
- Win + E to instantly erase the selected files.
- Win + BackSpace to undo the last dumping action.
You can also set the limit of the space used for the recycle bin.
Additionally, there is an auto cleaner feature that lets the program
automatically cleans the files within. You still be able to delete the files
manually if you want it that way, though.
iBin works under all Windows versions. It’s free and you can download it from here.
