Losing important files from your Kingston solid state drive (SSD) can be stressful and frustrating, whether they are personal photos, work documents, or critical business files. Kingston SSDs are known for their speed, reliability, and durability, but even the most trusted drives aren't immune to data loss. Accidental deletion, drive formatting, system crashes, malware attacks, or file corruption can all result in missing files. In this guide, we'll walk you through practical steps to safely recover your data and share tips to prevent future loss. With PcGoGo Data Recovery, restoring your files is simple, fast, and secure.
Is It Possible to Recover Deleted Files from a Kingston SSD?
When files are deleted from an SSD, they are not always gone permanently
Unlike traditional hard drives, SSDs use TRIM technology, which can permanently erase deleted data over time
This is why acting quickly is essential. If you stop using the drive immediately and follow the correct recovery process, your chances of successful recovery are much higher
Restore from Recycle Bin
When you delete a file on your Kingston SSD, Windows often moves it to the Recycle Bin rather than removing it permanently. To check:
Open the Recycle Bin on your desktop
Look for the deleted file or folder
Right-click the file and select Restore
The file will be returned to its original location. This method works well for files accidentally deleted but emptied from a standard location.
Recover Using File History or Previous Versions
Windows offers built-in backup features that can help recover older versions of files:
Navigate to the folder where your file was stored
Right-click the folder and select Restore previous versions
Browse the list of available versions and select one to restore
Similarly, if File History is enabled on your system, you can restore files from the backup drive:
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Backup > More options
Click Restore files from a current backup and follow the prompts
These options are convenient if you've previously set up backups or if the files were recently changed.
