Summary: Deleting files from an SSD can be frustrating. In this blog, we’ll look at what happens to your data when files are deleted from an SSD and how to recover your lost data using a SSD Data Recovery Tool.
Deletion of data on SSD can occur due to the following reasons:
- Software Issues: crashes, viruses, malfunctions that lead to data loss.
- Virus or Malware: malicious software that corrupts or deletes data.
- Keyboard Shortcuts: I recently used a keyboard shortcut to force an uninstall.
- Myth: Users who share with others accidentally delete important information.
- Overwrite File: The new file will be saved with the same name as the existing file.
Common Causes of SSD Data Loss
- Human Error: One of the main causes of data loss on SSD devices is human error, such as improper deletion or formatting.
- File System Corruption: File corruption makes the device unusable, resulting in data loss. Virus attacks on hardware often cause SSDs to fail.
- System failure: System failure due to registry errors or software errors can cause data loss on SSD devices.
- Power failure: Power failure during data transfer or reading and writing is another cause of SSD data loss.
All of the above situations can cause partial or complete data loss from SSD. Use these tips to ensure that you never lose important data from your SSD again.
What Should I Do If I Accidentally Delete Data from My SSD?
Deleting data from an SSD does not result in immediate or permanent data loss.
When you delete a file or folder, the following happens:
- Remove link from File: The operating system removes the link from the file system. As a result, the file appears to be deleted.
- Memory Marked as Free: The operating system marks the corresponding memory area as free. This allows new information to be written to your address.
- The old data remains unchanged. It remains on the SSD until it is filled with new data. That means you can still reboot.
- Old Data Can be Quickly Overwritten: New data stored on the SSD can fill its memory space, making recovery difficult or impossible.
Professional data recovery software or services can recover deleted files or folders from SSD.

So What Happens to the Data Deleted from the SSD?
Data deleted or lost from an SSD device is not lost forever. Deleted data remains on the device but is inaccessible to users. If you overwrite the deleted files with new files, the deleted files will be lost forever. Therefore, it is important to ensure the security of SSD devices so that users can successfully recover their SSD even after data loss.
Lost or deleted data on an SSD can be recovered unless it is overwritten with new data. All you need is a good recovery tool, like SoftwarePro SSD File Recovery Tool and some tips on how to quickly recover data from your SSD.
