There are a few steps you can take, it's possible to restore some deleted files. Here, this guide covers two effective methods to easily find and restore deleted files from SSD in Windows OS

If is it possible to recover deleted files from SSD drive?

You can recover deleted files and partition's data from the SSD drive in the following situations:

• Your SSD is connected to the computer via a USB or FireWire port.
• You are using a RAID array composed of multiple SSD devices. (Windows does not enable TRIM for such storage devices.)
• You are using an older version of OS: Windows Vista, Windows XP, macOS, and OS X 10.10.4 (these versions do not support TRIM.)
• TRIM is disabled at the operating system level.
• Your SSD does not support the TRIM command. (On older SSD models)
• The SSD is not formatted in the NTFS file system (for example, FAT32 used, exFat, etc.).

If you just delete a file from the SSD, the file will be moved to the recycle bin, where you have a chance to restore it. While you won't truly undelete files if files are permanently deleted from the internal SSD. You know when using an SSD that supports TRIM (all modern SSDs support TRIM), the deleted files will be deleted immediately and cannot be recovered. Therefore, once the SSD is overwritten, it is difficult to recover data.

To see whether TRIM is enabled on your SSD or not, follow these instructions. Open the Command Prompt and enter fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

• If DisableDeleteNotify = 0, trim is enabled.
• If DisableDeleteNotify = 1, trim is disabled.
