What Causes Files to Disappear in Windows?

There are several reasons why the files disappear in Windows, including accidental deletion ( by mistake, the user deletes the file because of the same name of different files). 

• The other reason could be the virus or malware that deletes or damages the files entirely, so in that case, it has been suggested to use the antivirus so that it can prevent damaging the storage. 
• The most common reason is hardware failure because the processor gets old and cannot support the file, and eventually, crashes, which causes the entire system to get disrupted and automatically removes the files. 
• Misconfigured file system settings could misplace the files elsewhere, so they must be searched for wisely. 

These are some of the mistakes caused by which the files get lost, and they can be recovered using the information mentioned below.
