how to retrieve apb folder after deleting it

Recommended Posts

i deleted the whole apb folder from my computer 2 days ago.

 

i did not uninstall it,just directly deleted the whole folder containing the game,and i keep apb folder out of steam's steamapps folder as i play apb without steam) i deleted it even from recycle bin so can anybody please suggest me some recovery software or any other way of retrieving it please? Downloading the game will take a lot of time on my slow internet....

 

edit - i posted in social by mistake so any mod please transfer it to tech section if possible.

A hard-drive contains millions and billions of sectors, think of this as apartments in a city..

The softwares you speak of will only help if no new information were written on the sectors that had APB-files on them..

 

What does that mean? It means that there is a good chance you won't be able to recover the files with said software, because the hard-drive was being used for 2 days... Even if you recover some of the data, the launcher will force a repair on your APB-directory. Additionally, a software like that is usually payware and is not guaranteed to properly restore your files

 

The best way is to just re-download the game..

 

P.S: Do not uninstall games if you do not have fast internet to get them back.... unless you need the HDD space..

Whoever downvoted the most reasonable and technically correct advise here is a special someone who needs to be put in a pen and studied for extra chromosomes.

Downvoters are abundant, so I dunno how special that kitten is. I did not notice any immediate downside from getting downvotes, so let 'em have some false sense of... whatever that is in their minds and feels~~

 

Thx~ ❤️❤️
