So stellen Sie gelöschte Dateien aus dem Papierkorb wieder her: 5 Methoden

gelöschte Dateien aus dem Papierkorb wiederherstellen

Deleted a file from the Recycle Bin or emptied it by mistake? If you want to know Wiederherstellung gelöschter Dateien aus dem Papierkorb, the good news is that recovery may still be possible on Windows 11 or Windows 10 as long as the original data has not been overwritten. If the file is still in the Recycle Bin, use Restore first. If the bin has already been emptied, you can try File History, Previous Versions, Windows File Recovery, or other methods covered in our Recycle Bin recovery guide.

Most importantly, stop saving new files to the affected drive. Deleted file space may be reused by Windows, and new data can overwrite the files you want to recover. This guide explains five practical recovery methods, starting with built-in Windows options. If no backup is available and you prefer a graphical recovery solution, Magic Data Recovery can scan the affected drive and preview recoverable files before recovery.

Which Recycle Bin Recovery Method Should You Use?

The best recovery method depends on whether the file is still in the Recycle Bin, whether the bin has already been emptied, and whether you have a backup. Use the table below to quickly choose the most suitable option.

SituationDie beste WiederherstellungsmethodeBackup Required?
Die Datei befindet sich noch im PapierkorbRestore it directly from the Recycle BinNein
The Recycle Bin has already been emptiedDateihistorie oder frühere VersionenJa
The file was synced with OneDriveÜberprüfen Sie den OneDrive-PapierkorbNo, if the file is still retained
Es ist kein Backup verfügbarWindows DateiwiederherstellungNein
You prefer a graphical recovery toolMagic Data RecoveryNein
The file was deleted with Shift + DeleteWindows File Recovery or data recovery softwareNein
The file was deleted from an SSDStop using the drive and attempt recovery as soon as possibleNein

If the deleted files are no longer available in the Recycle Bin, avoid saving new data to the affected drive before attempting recovery. New writes may overwrite the deleted data and reduce the chance of successful recovery.

Kann man Dateien wiederherstellen, die aus dem Papierkorb gelöscht wurden?

Yes, deleted Recycle Bin files may still be recoverable, but the result depends on how they were deleted. If a file is still inside the Recycle Bin, Windows can restore it immediately. After you empty the Recycle Bin or use Shift + Delete, the file is no longer available through the normal Windows interface.

On many file systems, deleted data may remain on the storage device until its space is reused. Recovery therefore becomes less likely as new data is written. SSDs require extra caution because TRIM and subsequent garbage collection can make deleted data unavailable much sooner than on a traditional HDD.

Wichtige Punkte zum Verständnis:

  • Gelöschte Dateien verschwinden nicht sofort. Sie bleiben auf der Festplatte, bis sie von neuen Daten überschrieben werden.
  • Dateien, die nach dem Leeren des Papierkorbs gelöscht wurden, sind schwieriger wiederherzustellen, aber mit den richtigen Tools können sie trotzdem wiederhergestellt werden.
  • Die Wiederherstellungschancen hängen von der Dateigröße, dem Speichertyp (HDD oder SSD) und der Systemnutzung nach der Löschung ab.

Die Kenntnis dieser Grundlagen gewährleistet, dass Sie die effektivsten Wiederherstellungsmethoden anwenden.

Method 1: Restore Deleted Files Directly from the Recycle Bin

If the deleted files are still in the Recycle Bin, restoring them is the easiest and safest option.

  1. Doppelklicken Sie auf die Papierkorb icon on the desktop.
  2. Locate the file or folder you want to recover.
  3. Right-click the item and select Wiederherstellen.
  4. Windows verschiebt die Datei wieder an ihren ursprünglichen Speicherort.

If you are unsure where the file came from, check the Ursprünglicher Standort column in the Recycle Bin before restoring it.

This method only works if the file has not been permanently deleted or removed by emptying the Recycle Bin.

Method 2: Recover Deleted Files with File History or Previous Versions

If the Recycle Bin has already been emptied, Windows File History may help restore an earlier version of the deleted file or folder. However, this method only works if File History or another compatible backup was enabled before the deletion occurred.

Dateien mit dem Dateiverlauf wiederherstellen

  1. Öffnen Sie Bedienfeld und gehen Sie zu System und Sicherheit > Dateiverlauf.
  2. Wählen Sie Persönliche Dateien wiederherstellen.
  3. Browse through the available backups until you find the file you need.
  4. Select the file and click the Wiederherstellen Taste.

Restore a Previous Version of a Folder

You can also check whether Windows has saved an earlier version of the folder that originally contained the deleted file.

  1. Öffnen Sie Datei-Explorer.
  2. Navigate to the folder where the deleted file was previously stored.
  3. Klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste auf den Ordner und wählen Sie Eigenschaften.
  4. Öffnen Sie die Frühere Versionen tab.
  5. Select an available version created before the file was deleted.
  6. Klicken Sie auf Öffnen Sie to check its contents or Wiederherstellen um sie wiederzuerlangen.

If no previous versions are listed, Windows may not have a suitable backup available.

Method 3: Check the OneDrive Recycle Bin

If your Desktop, Documents, Pictures, or another folder was synced with OneDrive, the deleted file may still be available in the OneDrive Recycle Bin even if it is no longer in the Windows Recycle Bin.

Zur Kontrolle:

  1. Sign in to your OneDrive account in a web browser.
  2. Wählen Sie Papierkorb aus dem linken Menü.
  3. Locate the deleted file or folder.
  4. Wählen Sie es aus und klicken Sie auf Wiederherstellen.

The restored item will normally return to its original OneDrive location.

This method is especially useful if the file was stored in a folder protected by OneDrive backup or synchronization. If the file is no longer available in the OneDrive Recycle Bin, continue with the recovery methods below.

Method 4: Recover Deleted Files with Windows File Recovery

If you have emptied the Recycle Bin and do not have a usable backup, Windows Dateiwiederherstellung is a free command-line tool from Microsoft that can attempt to recover deleted files from local drives, external drives, and USB storage devices.

First, install Windows Dateiwiederherstellung from the Microsoft Store and run it as administrator.

Das grundlegende Befehlsformat lautet:

winfr source-drive: destination-drive: [/mode] [/switches]

For example, to search for deleted files in the Documents folder on drive C: and save recovered files to drive E:, you can use:

winfr C: E: /regular /n \Benutzer\\Dokumente\

The source and destination drives must be different. Avoid saving recovered files back to the same drive because this may overwrite other deleted data.

If Regular mode does not find the files you need, you can try Erweiterter Modus for a deeper scan:

winfr C: E: /extensive /n \Users\<username>\Documents\

Windows File Recovery can be effective, but it requires command-line input and may be less convenient for users who prefer a graphical interface.

Method 5: Recover Recycle Bin Deleted Files with Magic Data Recovery

If the Recycle Bin has been emptied, no backup is available, and you prefer a graphical recovery tool, Magic Data Recovery can scan the affected drive for deleted files and let you preview recoverable data before saving it.

It can also be used in other data-loss situations, including accidental deletion, formatting, and file system errors.

So verwenden Sie Magic Data Recovery

1.Install and launch Magic Data Recovery. If possible, install it on a different drive from the one containing the deleted files.

Avoid recovering files to the original drive until the recovery process is complete. Writing new data to the affected drive may overwrite other deleted files and reduce the chance of recovery.

Why Recycle Bin Recovery May Fail

Recovering files deleted from the Recycle Bin is not always possible. Recovery mainly depends on whether the deleted data has been overwritten and the type of storage device being used.

GrundAuswirkungen auf die Erholung
New data was written to the driveDeleted data may be partially or completely overwritten
The file was deleted from an SSDTRIM may make deleted data unavailable more quickly
Das Laufwerk weist Dateisystemfehler aufFile records may be harder to locate or restore
The file was securely erasedRecovery is usually not possible with standard recovery tools

To improve your chances of recovery, stop using the affected drive as soon as possible and avoid saving recovered files back to the same location.

Schlussfolgerung

Recovering files deleted from the Recycle Bin depends mainly on how the files were removed and whether their original data has been overwritten. If the files are still in the Recycle Bin, restore them directly. After the bin has been emptied, check File History, Previous Versions, OneDrive, and Windows File Recovery first. You can also explore our complete Recycle Bin recovery guide for more recovery scenarios and practical tips.

If you have no usable backup and the deleted files are no longer accessible through Windows, Magic Data Recovery can scan the original drive, locate recoverable files, and let you preview them before recovery. Whichever method you choose, avoid writing new data to the affected drive and save recovered files to a different location whenever possible.

FAQs

Can I recover permanently deleted files after emptying the Recycle Bin?

Yes, recovery may still be possible if the deleted data has not been overwritten. Stop using the affected drive first. Then check File History, Previous Versions, or another backup. If no backup exists, try Windows File Recovery or data recovery software to scan the original drive.

Wie kann ich gelöschte Dateien aus dem Papierkorb ohne Software wiederherstellen?

If the files are still inside the Recycle Bin, open it, select the files, and click Restore. After the Recycle Bin has been emptied, software-free recovery usually depends on an existing backup, such as File History, Previous Versions, or a cloud copy stored in OneDrive.

Can Windows File Recovery recover files deleted from Recycle Bin?

Yes. Microsoft states that Windows File Recovery can attempt to recover files deleted from local storage that can no longer be restored from the Recycle Bin. The source and destination drives should be different, and you should minimize use of the affected drive before recovery.

Where do files restored from Recycle Bin go?

Windows normally restores a file to the location where it was stored before deletion. If you cannot remember the original folder, check the Original Location column inside the Recycle Bin before restoring the file.

Why are my deleted files not in the Recycle Bin?

Files may bypass the Recycle Bin if you used Shift + Delete, emptied the bin, deleted data from certain removable or network locations, or the file exceeded applicable Recycle Bin limits. In these cases, check backups or use a recovery method that scans the original storage device.

Kann ich Dateien wiederherstellen, die mit der Umschalttaste + Löschen gelöscht wurden?

Possibly. Shift + Delete bypasses the normal Recycle Bin restore process, but deleted data may remain recoverable until its storage space is reused. Stop writing new data to the drive and try Windows File Recovery, an existing backup, or data recovery software.

Can I recover Recycle Bin files from an SSD?

Recovery from an SSD can be more difficult than from an HDD because TRIM and garbage collection may make deleted blocks unavailable relatively quickly. Stop using the SSD as soon as possible and check backups first. If no backup exists, attempt recovery promptly.

How long can files be recovered after the Recycle Bin is emptied?

There is no fixed recovery period. A file may remain recoverable until its storage space is overwritten or otherwise cleared. Heavy disk activity can shorten that window significantly, while deleted data on a lightly used HDD may sometimes remain available much longer.
