Deleted files on a Kingston SSD may still be recoverable, but SSD features such as TRIM can reduce the chance of recovery over time. Stop using the drive immediately to avoid overwriting recoverable data, and do not install recovery software or save restored files to the affected SSD. This guide explains how to check Windows backups and use PcGoGo Data Recovery to scan, preview, and safely restore lost files.
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.
