Microsoft has launched a new software for Windows 10 called Windows File Recovery, which allows users to recover accidentally deleted files. Those who have accidentally removed a file from hard drive know the panic that comes with the error and they will be more than happy to have this recovery tool on their system. Sometimes, you can find the deleted files in the recycle bin and restore them easily, but other times the files are just plain gone!
..
Anyone familiar with how Windows and other operating systems work might know that files aren’t actually deleted, but somehow, they’re marked to allow other data to overwrite them in the future thereby saving the system's storage space from irrelevant files. That means with the right recovery software, there is a chance to recover “deleted” files like Videos, Audios, Images or Documents.
To that end, Microsoft has shown up with a powerful tool to help us with such tasks and the amazing part is that, this tool is free for everyone with the Windows 10 OS Version whereas many of such third parties' Data Recovery Tools costs around 100 Bucks or more.
Windows File Recovery is a command-line tool to search the drive's data for deleted multiple file types which includes Photos, Documents, Videos Audios, and several other files.

This utility supports three modes, including "Default", "Segment Mode", and "Signature Mode". Files accidentally deleted from a USB drive can be recovered using the Signature Mode, which can expand beyond NTFS recovery to work with storage devices. The Signature Mode only requires the data to be present and searches for specific file types, but won’t work for small files. The Default Mode uses the Master File Table(MFT) to locate lost files. Segment Mode doesn’t require MFT but does require segments.
Window Files Recovery is supported on Hard Drives, SSDs(see examples above), & USB Drives. Memory Cards exclusively, one caveat is that file recovery on SSD devices is limited by TRIM.

The source and destination drives must be different. When trying to recover data from the operating system drive (which is often C: ), use the /n and /y switches to specify the user files or folder(as you can see in the recovery command prompt image above).
Microsoft automatically creates a recovery folder for you called, Recovery_ on the destination drive.
