Where Are Photoshop Recovery Files Stored?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:38 pm

Have you ever deleted a file by accident, then realized you need it after all? This is a common occurrence both for individuals and businesses.

Perhaps you accidentally hit the “delete” button, or emptied the trash before realizing you needed the file. Fortunately, in most cases, it is possible to recover deleted files.

When you delete a file on your computer, it is not immediately erased from the system. Instead, the space that file occupies is marked as available for new data. Until that space is overwritten with new data, the deleted file remains on your hard drive and can be recovered.

There are a few different methods you can use to recover deleted files. One is to use a data recovery program specifically designed for this purpose. These programs can scan your hard drive for any files that have been marked as deleted and give you the option to restore them.

PRO TIP: Photoshop recovery files are stored in a temporary folder on your computer’s hard drive. If you accidentally delete or move these files, Photoshop will not be able to recover your work.

Another method is to use a file recovery program included with your operating system. For example, Windows users can use the “Previous Versions” feature to restore files that have been backed up by System Restore. Mac users can use Time Machine to restore lost files.

If you can’t find a way to recover the file using either of these methods, there’s still one more option: try contacting the manufacturer of your hard drive and see if they offer data recovery services. In some cases, they may be able to send someone out to physically retrieve the data from your hard drive.

Conclusion:

So where are Photoshop Recovery Files stored? Photoshop Recovery Files are stored in a temporary folder on your hard drive.

When you delete a file in Photoshop, it is not immediately erased from your system.
