Way 2. Never Use Recycle Bin to Save Information

In general, the files you deleted will be saved in recycle bin and you can enter the recycle bin to find the deleted files.

Back up your data from computer to removable storage devices periodically. Remember scan your storage device with antivirus software to ensure it hasn't been affected by virus and can work normally before you do the backup. After copying the data, you'd better classify these backups clearly so that you can find and reuse the information easily.
