I have deleted a big folder with valuable files from the external drive which is still connected to the computer. The folder is not in the Recycle bin. How to restore it?
OS Windows 10, Computer HP.

Use something like Recuva or Active@ File Recovery.

No need third party software maybe.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Search (or if you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search), enter restore your files in the search box, and then tap or click Restore your files with File History.

Enter the name of file you're looking for in the search box, or use the left and right arrows to browse through different versions of your folders and files.

Select what you want to restore to its original location, and then tap or click the Restore button.
If you want to restore your files to a different location than the original, press and hold or right-click the Restore button, tap or click Restore To, and then choose a new location.
