Reasons for USB data loss

In addition to unplugging the USB drive while it is still in use, there are several other reasons why data sometimes disappears from the USB drive without warning, including:

• Unexpected file deletion
• Malware infection
• Data fragment
• Unsuitable conditions (excessive moisture, heat, etc.)
• Hardware failure
• Software defect
• The problem of the USB port

But no matter what the cause of USB data loss is, there are some things you need to do to ensure that you can successfully undelete files from USB:

• Stop using the USB drive immediately after discovering data loss.
• Disconnect the USB drive from your computer and store it in a safe place until you have time to start the data recovery process.
• Don't try to copy data from USB to different locations, because you may only make things worse.

Now that you know the most common causes of USB drive data loss and how to ensure successful USB drive recovery, it's time to explain how to undelete USB data.
