휴지통에서 삭제된 파일 복구

Deleted a file from the Recycle Bin or emptied it by mistake? If you want to know 휴지통에서 삭제된 파일을 복구하는 방법, 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.

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.

휴지통에서 삭제된 파일을 복구할 수 있나요?

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.

이해해야 할 핵심 사항

  • 삭제된 파일은 즉시 사라지지 않습니다. 새 데이터가 덮어쓸 때까지 디스크에 남아 있습니다.
  • 휴지통을 비운 후 삭제된 파일은 복구하기가 더 어렵지만 적절한 도구를 사용하면 복구할 수 있습니다.
  • 복구 가능성은 파일 크기, 저장소 유형(HDD 대 SSD), 삭제 후 시스템 사용량에 따라 달라집니다.

이러한 기본 사항을 이해하면 가장 효과적인 복구 방법을 사용할 수 있습니다.

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. 를 두 번 클릭합니다. 휴지통 icon on the desktop.
  2. Locate the file or folder you want to recover.
  3. Right-click the item and select 복원.
  4. Windows는 파일을 원래 위치로 되돌립니다.

If you are unsure where the file came from, check the 원본 위치 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.

파일 기록을 사용하여 파일 복원하기

  1. 열기 제어판 를 클릭하고 시스템 및 보안 > 파일 기록.
  2. 선택 개인 파일 복원.
  3. Browse through the available backups until you find the file you need.
  4. Select the file and click the 복원 버튼을 클릭합니다.

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. 열기 파일 탐색기.
  2. Navigate to the folder where the deleted file was previously stored.
  3. 폴더를 마우스 오른쪽 버튼으로 클릭하고 속성.
  4. 열기 이전 버전 탭을 클릭합니다.
  5. Select an available version created before the file was deleted.
  6. 클릭 열기 to check its contents or 복원 를 클릭하여 복구할 수 있습니다.

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.

확인하려면:

  1. Sign in to your OneDrive account in a web browser.
  2. 선택 휴지통 를 클릭합니다.
  3. Locate the deleted file or folder.
  4. 해당 항목을 선택한 다음 클릭하세요 복원.

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 파일 복구 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 파일 복구 from the Microsoft Store and run it as administrator.

기본 명령어 형식은 다음과 같습니다:

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: /일반 /n \사용자\\문서\

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 광역 모드 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.

Magic Data Recovery 사용 방법

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.

이유복구에 미치는 영향
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
이 드라이브에 파일 시스템 오류가 있습니다.File records may be harder to locate or restore
파일이 안전하게 삭제되었습니다.Recovery 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.

결론

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.

자주 묻는 질문

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.

소프트웨어 없이 휴지통에서 삭제된 파일을 복구하려면 어떻게 해야 하나요?

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.

Shift + 삭제로 삭제한 파일을 복구할 수 있나요?

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.
