Darren123 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Anyone can help on how to find a video I deleted by a mistake? I know Debut is saying videos are deleted permanently, but maybe there is a way to recover it? Come other software maybe? It is a really important video and it will have an affect on my professional life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1x1 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hi, I'm sorry to inform you that once a file is deleted from your computer, unfortunately, it cannot be recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfoodsgal Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 even with a recovery software? If so why may I ask would they do that? I am surprised there is no middle state for the deleted files. I had the same thing happen to me as a new user and was trying this morning to recover mine 5v hour video I was responsible for for family gathering.

MakubX Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 @superfoodsgal You can try recovery software after checking the Recycle Bin. The recordings by default are located at C:\Users\"profile"\Videos\Debut unless changed or exported elsewhere. As long as it's a finished video recording, it'd go to the bin after deleting just like any other file in Windows Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfoodsgal Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 thank you. i accidentally deleted file from within the debut program window so it does not appear in the recycle bin. i then ran a scan with recovery software and nothing came up.

MakubX Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Do you mean the Debut> Recordings Window? Did you make sure to include the default path C:\Users\"profile"\Videos\Debut when running the scan? The file may be lost now and is beyond recovery, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfoodsgal Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 i am saying i deleted from within the debut window of recordings. when it asks if i want to permanently delete does it delete it as a whole file or ? there is no trace of the file and i tried with a second recording to test where it may have gone and no trace of the original file.......its annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfoodsgal Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 also there is a file that is the same size that is labeled under .blockcache but not my original file name3. is it possible this would be it? wem uwp64 blockcache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakubX Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 It would be deleted as a video file, .avi by default. It bypasses the recycle bin when deleted via Debut so it seems, I've added a suggestion for improvement on this to our developers. It'd be more useful if it can go to the Recycle Bin first.

superfoodsgal Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 thanks. also for Darren, who started the thread, he can possibly use a system restore point. unfortunately, I did not have one to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfoodsgal Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 is there a way to find out what happens to the file-is there a process bv which ist is split up and thats why i dont see it? can i search for components, etc? thanks for instance if in the file folder it is called untitled 2 could it possibly be renamed in the deletion process to something else?

MakubX Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I'm not sure but I think deleting it from Debut replicates Windows Explorer's SHIFT + DELETE operation. This bypasses the recycle bin and the file just disappears, probably replaced with free space by the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfoodsgal Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 ohh that makes sense however wouldnt there be a way to do a hidden scan or deeper look- it cant justy disappear...it has to be somewhere...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakubX Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I'd say it would depend on the recovery software and how the computer was operating after the file got deleted (updates, cleaning, defrags, and the like). You can try Recuva by Piriform, I think it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
