Thumbs up Answer: Excell and alll.xls files deleted -need to restore .xls

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Fortunately, there are a few things you can try to restore your Excel files.
  1. Check the Recycle Bin: If your husband simply deleted the files, they may still be in the Recycle Bin. Open the Recycle Bin on your computer and search for the Excel files. If you find them, right-click on each file and select "Restore" to return them to their original location.
  2. Use File History or System Resto If you have File History or System Restore enabled on your computer, you may be able to restore the Excel files to a previous version. To do this, search for "File History" or "System Restore" in the Start menu and follow the prompts to restore your files.
  3. Use a file recovery tool: If the above methods don't work, you can try using a file recovery tool to scan your computer for deleted files. There are many free and paid options available online, such as
    Formula:
    Recuva 
    ,
    Formula:
    EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard 
    , and
    Formula:
    Disk Drill 
    . Download and install the tool of your choice, then follow the prompts to scan your computer for deleted Excel files. If the tool finds your files, you can usually restore them to a new location on your computer.

I hope one of these methods helps you recover your Excel files. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
