😱 Where did those files go?!

Losing family photos or work documents is a heart-sinking moment, but don't panic yet, Wickford! Before you assume they’re gone forever, try these 3 quick checks:

✅ The "Obvious" Spot: Check your Recycle Bin. Sometimes a slip of the mouse is all it takes!

✅ Cloud Search: Check OneDrive, Google Photos, or iCloud. They might be waiting for you in the cloud.

✅ The "Port" Trick: If an external drive isn't showing up, try a different USB port or a quick reboot.

🛑 THE GOLDEN RULE: If you hear clicking or grinding sounds—STOP using the device immediately. Keeping it powered on can make files unrecoverable forever.

Need a professional hand? I offer a Free Diagnostic Check and a "No Fix, No Fee" policy for residents across Wickford, Basildon, and Essex. 🛠️💻
