Restore files from recycle bin

[Italiano]

Hello...

 

as title says... is there a method that I can use in Autoit to restore single files from recycle bin? If I am right, there is just a command to empty it (filerecycleempty). Since  I was planning to add a simple "undo" in a script that i am writing to restore files that the script deletes, i was wondering if i could restore them directly with autoit.

Any ideas?

Sorry for my bad english and sorry if it exists already a function for it  and i was not good to find it

thx

Italiano,

I use this code from Yashied to enumerate the contents of the Recycle bin. Once you have the list,  you can use FileMove to move the file as shown:

expandcollapse popup

#Include <Array.au3>

Func _EnumRecycleBinItems($sRoot = '')

    Local $oShellApp, $oRecycleBin, $oFolderItems, $oItem

    $oShellApp = ObjCreate('Shell.Application')
    $oRecycleBin = $oShellApp.NameSpace(10)
    If Not IsObj($oRecycleBin) Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndIf

    Local $Ret, $Result[101][6] = [[0]]

    $sRoot = StringStripWS($sRoot, 3)
    If $sRoot > '' Then
        If StringInStr($sRoot, ':') Then
            $sRoot = StringRegExpReplace($sRoot, ':.*', '')
        Else
            $sRoot = ''
        EndIf
        If Not FileExists($sRoot & ':') Then
            Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
        EndIf
    EndIf
    $Ret = DllCall('shell32.dll', 'none', 'SHGetSettings', 'uint*', 0, 'dword', 2)
    If @error Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndIf
    $oFolderItems = $oRecycleBin.Items()
    For $oItem In $oFolderItems
        If ($sRoot > '') And ($sRoot <> StringLeft($oItem.Path, 1)) Then
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
        $Result[0][0] += 1
        If $Result[0][0] > UBound($Result) - 1 Then
            ReDim $Result[$Result[0][0] + 100][UBound($Result, 2)]
        EndIf
        $Result[$Result[0][0]][0] = $oRecycleBin.GetDetailsOf($oItem, 0) ; Original name
        $Result[$Result[0][0]][1] = $oRecycleBin.GetDetailsOf($oItem, 1) ; Original path
        $Result[$Result[0][0]][2] = $oRecycleBin.GetDetailsOf($oItem, 2) ; Deleted date
;       $Result[$Result[0][0]][3] = $oRecycleBin.GetDetailsOf($oItem, 3) ; Size
        $Result[$Result[0][0]][3] = $oItem.Size ; Size
        $Result[$Result[0][0]][4] = FileGetAttrib($oItem.Path) ; Attributes
        $Result[$Result[0][0]][5] = $oItem.Path ; Recycle name
        If (Not $Ret[1]) And (Not StringInStr($Result[$Result[0][0]][4], 'D')) Then
            If StringInStr($Result[$Result[0][0]][5], '.') Then
                $Result[$Result[0][0]][0] &= StringRegExpReplace($Result[$Result[0][0]][5], '^.*\.', '.')
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    ReDim $Result[$Result[0][0] + 1][UBound($Result, 2)]
    Return $Result
EndFunc   ;==>_EnumRecycleBinItems

$Data = _EnumRecycleBinItems()
_ArrayDisplay($Data)

; To recover a file all you need do is:
FileMove($Data[1][5], $Data[1][0]) ; Recovers the first file in the list

Does this script works on Windows 10?

@stasia8954, it would probably have taken you less time to actually try it than it did to write your post. Have you tried it for yourself? Are you experiencing issues? If so, instead of just a blanket "is this supposed to work" question, try explaining in detail what problems you're running into.

Hi.

This script shows only the files which are currently in the recycle bin. They can lay there for years if you don't empty your recycle bin. If you look manually into your recycle bin and the file is in there the script will work.

But I guess you have emptied your recycle bin and now looking for a solution to restore your burned files? This script isn't about that.

Must have been overwritten by new data,  if you lost data, you can only get them back with a recovery tool as soon as possible.

It hard to say , there are no chance ,once the data is overwritten ,they are completely erased from memory card or other device ,
