Urgent restore files after using delete_files on CodeIgniter

I tried to delete an image in my website using CodeIgniter using this command:

delete_files("./".$versus->getConc1() -> getPicture_path());

I need to know how to recover my files, I use Windows 8 and EasyPHP.

Solution

  • If EasyPHP was installed to another drive then your system drive (C: is usually your system drive and D: is your storage drive), you just need to install a recovery software.

    NOTE: It is very important not to write/delete/copy on that partition/drive. Otherwise your information might be lost!

    I usually take the drive out, install it into another PC which has every software/windows service disabled that could write on that drive. Example: windows update, windows system restore, virtual memory, superfetch, antivirus, etc.

    LE: Don't forget to always backup your files if you are working on something important. I do daily backups and store those backups on another PC. If the development PC crashes in some way, I always have the backup from yesterday.
