The files may get corrupted due to an operating system failure, virus attack or a poorly performed operation. A corrupt file is always useless and impossible to manage. When you face this problem, you can first try to repair the damaged files or run a virus detection program. However, if they do not work for you, you can try a program to recover damaged files.

Data recovery programs allow you to restore corrupted photos, music and videos as well as document files. With these programs you can sometimes recover damaged files that have been emptied or deleted from the recycle bin or that have been lost due to a virus attack, system failure or partition formatting.

The process of repairing damaged/deleted files can be done on any operating system, as long as you have the right software.

However, it is important to highlight the difference between recovering and repairing a file. Many times in the file recovery process it turns out that many of the recovered files are damaged or corrupt, because if you mistakenly delete a file or folder and then overwrite something in that free space, then the files that were previously will be corrupted in such a way that it can no longer be read.

If this is your case, then you must first run a lost/deleted file recovery program and then proceed to repair the file.

The following steps are usually standard for the popular operating systems, however, there could be some differences depending on the application and OS you use.
