  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: There Is the DOS Undelete Command

    Depending on what version of DOS you have, you may have the undelete command built in or you may need to get a third-party utility. DOS 5 and DOS 6 included the utility and DOS 6 included a version that would work in Windows.

    On the Other: Windows95 and the Recycle Bin

    Starting with Windows 95, Microsoft included the Recycle Bin feature to make recovering deleted files easier, provided you didn't empty it. There is limited command-line access with Window 95 and newer operating systems. The undelete command requires extra steps for direct disk access.

    Bottom Line

    If you are running a DOS-only machine or a DOS/Windows machine prior to Windows95, then the undelete command is an easy way to recover files. With machines using Windows 95 or later, you can recover files at the DOS prompt, but it is a more complicated process.
