An Employee deleted all files on a computer!! ?

I had an employee delete all files from a company computer, I'm not sure how he did it but. All of the Apps are still there ex. Microsoft Office, but no files. Will Recuva work in getting these files back?

A company computer without any backups?

Do you have a designated IT manager? (or did you think you didn't need one/could do it yourself)?

If so ask where the backups are, if not then it's an urgent action to appoint one and set a routine for <em>at least</em> daily backups.

You might be lucky with recovery of the files - if nobody has used the computer since they were deleted.

If these files were essential to the company then don't try and recover them yourself.

Stop anyone from using the computer (unplug it) and pay for an experienced technician to recover what they can.
