The need to recover lost data arises for several reasons. The foremost of these is human error in the form of accidentally deleting files. Very often we simply click on delete instead of save and data is lost. Other times we might momentarily think we wish to delete a file only to remember later on that there was information within that file we still required.

Yet another common file loss human error happens continually when we empty our Windows recycle bin. Very often we use the recycle bin as a catchall for files and folders that we have not quite yet decided what to do with. We then forget we had placed things in the recycle bin as a temporary storage point and proceed to empty the bin. Better grade software to recover data is able to recognize files that had previously been placed in the Windows recycle bin and show them for recovery examination.
