How to Recover Deleted and Lost Photos on Windows 11?

Have you accidentally deleted a file (picture, document, video, etc) on your Windows 11 and are wondering how to recover the deleted file?

Generally speaking, there are different ways of recovering deleted files on Windows 11 and one of it is using a Previous Version Recovery process, whereby you go to your system hard disk, right click and select Previous Version, and boom, you restore your files.

Another is to go to the Recycle Bin. Open it, make some filters, and we get to recover the deleted files by Right-clicking the deleted files, and choosing the option of "Restore".

But sometimes, we have instances whereby files move past the Recycle Bin and are permanently lost/deleted. In this case, How do we recover such files?
