Recovery of files in Linux requires scanning of the storage device for files that have been lost, deleted, or cannot be accessed. This may vary based on different factors such as the type of file system used and why the files are lost. There are programs that can scan for information of the lost files which could still be on the drive. Users should refrain from copying any new files into the device before performing recovery so that the old information does not get overwritten by new information.
