USB 드라이브에서 삭제된 파일 복구

Files deleted from a USB drive usually bypass the Windows Recycle Bin, but that does not always mean they are gone permanently. If the storage space has not been overwritten, you may still be able to recover deleted files on a USB drive.

Stop using the USB drive immediately. Do not copy new files to it, format it, run CHKDSK, or save recovered files back to the same device. Every new write may overwrite the deleted data and reduce the chance of recovery.

This guide explains four practical recovery methods: checking for hidden files, restoring a backup, using Windows File Recovery, and scanning the USB drive with Magic Data Recovery. Start with the method that matches your situation, or explore our USB 플래시 드라이브 복구 솔루션 for other USB errors.

Can Deleted Files Be Recovered from a USB Drive?

Yes, deleted USB files may be recoverable as long as their storage space has not been overwritten. Windows normally removes the file-system reference and marks the occupied space as available. Recovery software can scan that space and reconstruct files that remain intact.

However, the correct method depends on whether the files were actually deleted, hidden by malware, lost after formatting, or made inaccessible by file-system damage.

USB Data Loss ScenarioRecommended First Action
Files suddenly disappear, but the USB drive still shows used spaceShow hidden files and check for malware
Files were deleted using Delete or Shift + DeleteWindows 파일 복구 기능을 사용하거나 Magic Data Recovery를 사용하세요.
The USB drive was quick-formattedRun a deep scan with Magic Data Recovery
The USB drive appears as RAW or asks to be formattedRecover the data first; do not run CHKDSK
The USB drive is not detected in Disk ManagementCheck for physical damage or contact a professional recovery service

Method 1: Show Hidden Files on the USB Drive

Use this method only when files have disappeared but the USB drive still shows used storage space. It can reveal files hidden by malware or incorrect attributes, but it cannot restore files that were actually deleted.

  1. USB 드라이브를 연결하고 드라이브 문자를 확인해 두세요.
  2. 관리자 권한으로 명령 프롬프트를 엽니다.
  3. 다음 명령을 입력합니다:

attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.*

교체 X with the USB drive letter and press Enter. Reopen the drive in File Explorer and check whether the files are visible.

Method 2: Restore Deleted USB Files from a Backup

Check whether the deleted USB files also exist in OneDrive, Google Drive, another computer, an external backup drive, or a Windows backup. If the files were originally copied from your computer to the USB drive, search the original folder before running a recovery scan.

File History only helps if the original files were included in a previously configured backup. It does not automatically create a backup of every removable USB drive.

Method 3: Recover Deleted USB Files with Windows File Recovery

Windows File Recovery is a free Microsoft command-line tool for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It supports USB drives formatted with NTFS, FAT, or exFAT, but it does not provide a graphical interface or file preview.

First, install Windows File Recovery from the Microsoft Store. Suppose the affected USB drive is E: and you want to save the recovered files to the computer’s C: 드라이브.

For a recently deleted file on an NTFS USB drive, use:

winfr E: C: /regular /n *.docx

For a FAT32 or exFAT USB drive, or when the files were deleted some time ago, use Extensive mode:

winfr E: C: /extensive /n *.jpg /n *.png /n *.docx

Replace the extensions with the file types you need. When prompted, type Y to begin recovery. Windows will create a recovery folder on the destination drive.

The source and destination must be different drives. Never recover files back to the affected USB drive because doing so may overwrite other deleted data.

Method 4: Recover Deleted Files with Magic Data Recovery

If the files were permanently deleted, the USB drive was formatted, or Windows File Recovery is too difficult to use, Magic Data Recovery provides a graphical recovery process for Windows.

It supports deleted, formatted, RAW, and logically corrupted USB drives, along with more than 5,000 file types. The preview and filtering features help you identify the files you need before saving them.

Choose the method based on how the files were lost. For actual deletion without a backup, a recovery scan is usually more relevant than ATTRIB or other file-visibility commands.

What Not to Do Before USB File Recovery

  • Do not copy new files to the USB drive.
  • Do not format the drive, even if Windows prompts you to do so.
  • 중요한 데이터를 복구하기 전에 CHKDSK를 실행하지 마십시오.
  • 문제가 발생한 USB 드라이브에는 복구 소프트웨어를 설치하지 마십시오.
  • 복구된 파일을 동일한 기기에 다시 저장하지 마십시오.
  • Stop using software and seek professional help if the USB drive is physically damaged.

자주 묻는 질문

USB 드라이브에서 삭제된 파일을 복구할 수 있나요?

Yes, recovery is often possible if the deleted data has not been overwritten. Stop using the USB drive immediately, then restore the files from a backup or scan the device with Windows File Recovery or USB recovery software. Recovery becomes less likely after new files are written to the drive.

Where do deleted files from a USB drive go?

Files deleted from a removable USB drive usually bypass the Windows Recycle Bin. Windows removes their file-system references and marks the occupied space as available. The original data may remain on the USB storage until another file overwrites it, which creates an opportunity for recovery.

소프트웨어 없이 삭제된 USB 파일을 복구할 수 있나요?

You can recover the files without recovery software only if another copy or backup exists. The ATTRIB command can reveal hidden files, but it cannot restore data that was actually deleted. Without a backup, deleted files generally require Windows File Recovery or another scanning tool.

CMD를 사용하면 USB 드라이브에서 영구적으로 삭제된 파일을 복구할 수 있나요?

The ATTRIB command cannot recover permanently deleted files; it only removes hidden, system, and read-only attributes. Microsoft’s Windows File Recovery also runs in a command-line window and can recover deleted files, but it is a separate application that must be installed from the Microsoft Store.

USB 드라이브를 포맷한 후 파일을 복구할 수 있나요?

Files may be recoverable after a quick format if no new data has been written to the USB drive. Do not format it again or copy files to it. Run a deep scan and save any recovered files elsewhere. Recovery after a full overwrite is much less likely.

삭제된 USB 파일이 휴지통에 없는 이유는 무엇인가요?

Windows normally treats removable storage differently from an internal drive. Files deleted directly from a USB flash drive usually bypass the standard Recycle Bin and disappear immediately from File Explorer. They may still remain physically recoverable until their storage space is overwritten.

Can files be recovered from a RAW USB drive?

A RAW status usually indicates that Windows cannot read the USB file system. Do not format the drive or run repair commands before recovering important files. If the device is visible in Disk Management, data recovery software may still be able to scan its storage sectors.

Can software recover files from a physically damaged USB drive?

Recovery software requires the USB device to be detected reliably by the computer. If the connector is broken, the drive repeatedly disconnects, becomes unusually hot, or does not appear in Disk Management, stop using it. Physical damage normally requires a professional hardware recovery service.
