 Reasons Why Screenshots Are Lost or Deleted

Screenshots, like any other data, can be lost for various reasons. If you have been losing screenshots and other data regularly, check out the reasons below to understand why it’s happening.

  • Corrupt Disk – A disk can become corrupted due to sudden power failure, interruption while formatting the disk or simply because there are too many bad sectors. When either of these cases occurs, the files saved on the disk become inaccessible and disappear from your PC.
  • Accidental deleting file – Human error is the primary reason for mistakenly deleting files. Everyone once in their life faces this issue.
  • Malware or virus attack – Viruses and malware are designed to target files & make them useless or worse.
  • Formatting – When a drive is formatted, all its contents are deleted. If the screenshots were stored on the formatted disc, most likely, they were erased during the procedure.

Where Do I Find My Screenshots on Windows?

As there are multiple ways to take a screenshot, the location where screenshots are kept depends on how you took them.

If you have taken screenshots using Snipping Tool, remember there is no default location. This means the screenshots will be saved on the location you decide.

Ways to Recover Deleted Screenshots from Windows?

The percentage of retrieving deleted screenshots from Windows dramatically depends on the time range. If they were lost lately, you have a strong possibility of recovering them because the data hasn’t been overwritten. Let’s look at the many methods for recovering lost or deleted screenshots.

Method 1: Restoring Deleted Screenshot from Recycle Bin

When a file is deleted from Windows, it is stored in the Recycle Bin by pressing the Delete key for 30 days. To restore it from the Recycle Bin, follow these steps:

Note: Recycle Bin limits how much data it can retain, which varies from machine to machine, and the total disk space.

  • Double click Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and open it.

  • Find the screenshot you want to undelete. Select it > right-click > Restore. If you want to retrieve all deleted data, click Restore the selected items.

This will recover files and will save them in their original location.

However if the Recycle Bin is emptied, don’t worry. You can still recover your files using the Photos Recovery app, developed by Systweak.

Method 2: Search for Screenshots

Sometimes, the file is not deleted but is saved elsewhere on your system that you cannot find. To confirm that is not the case, sign the search tool, look for the file on Windows and save yourself from wasting time attempting to retrieve a still present file.

Windows

  • Press Windows + E to open File Explorer
  • Click on This PC > go to the folder where you saved the screenshot. However, if you don’t know the folder name, use the Search This PC field to find the screenshot you are looking for.

  • If you don’t remember the name, just type in the generic terms like “screenshot” and search for deleted screen capture.

This should help find the screenshot if present on the PC.

Method 3: Restore Deleted Screenshot Using Photos Recovery
