Solve : Where does Network shared file goes when deleted?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hi guys,<br/>One of my network users accidentally deleted one of our company file shared in our server. Where does it go? is it recoverable?<br/><br/>ThanksFiles deleted from a shared folder are NOT sent to the recycle bin anywhere.<br/><br/>Your best option would be to literally shut down the share and run a file recovery program.<br/><br/><br/>Additionally- make sure that when you allow write/delete <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/access-846773" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ACCESS">ACCESS</a>, the users given that access are going to act responsibly with it- Don't, for example, give somebody who always comes in to complain about "lost files" that you find in their recycle bin ability to delete files.

If so should recover it<br/>maybe...<br/><br/>OR try active undelete (google it)I agree with BC here...<br/>If the network is set up properly the files are only gone on that workstation and reside on the server...<br/>Much more info is needed here.

Now is there a way to get it back?<br/><br/><br/>Files deleted from a share by a remote user aren't sent to either machines recycle bin. The only recourse in this instance would be to use a recovery application, as indicated.<br/>"two problems with that being that they might not be using Vista, as well as the fact that I don't believe that it keeps shadow copies of entire folders."<br/><br/>vista?? if Shadow Copies of Shared Folders feature is not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/enabledbrbr-2611522" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ENABLED">ENABLED</a> on server your correct..otherwise<br/>it should be recoverable..IMO <br/><br/>RE:<br/><br/><a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780400.aspx">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780400.aspx</a><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>I don't see where they say their running Windows Server 2003. Could be Windows NT 3.1 Server for all we know.<br/><br/><br/>But- functionality noted.
