On-Site File Recovery Services in Melbourne
File Recovery Melbourne is a professional on-site data recovery service provided by PC Doc Onsite for homes and businesses throughout Melbourne. We recover deleted files, lost documents, photos, videos and data from hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, memory cards and external storage devices without your device leaving your property.
Accidentally Deleted File Recovery
Files deleted from the Recycle Bin, erased with Shift+Delete, or lost after a factory reset can often be recovered if the underlying storage sectors have not been overwritten by new data. We use professional recovery software on-site to retrieve deleted files before permanent overwriting occurs. The sooner you stop using the device and call us, the higher the recovery rate.
Formatted Drive Recovery
Formatting a drive removes the file system index but does not immediately erase the underlying data. Whether you accidentally formatted the wrong drive, wiped a partition, or had Windows format a drive during setup, we can attempt recovery of files that existed before the format using deep-scan recovery tools.
Photo & Video Recovery
Irreplaceable photos and videos are among the most distressing losses we encounter. We specialise in photo and video file recovery from internal drives, SD cards, USB drives and external HDDs — recovering RAW files, JPEGs, MP4s and virtually every common image and video format.
Document & Spreadsheet Recovery
Lost Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDF files and presentations recovered on-site. We also check Windows' built-in Previous Versions (VSS shadow copies) before resorting to raw sector scanning — often the fastest route to recovering a recently deleted document.
Recycle Bin Permanently Deleted
Files deleted using Shift+Delete or after emptying the Recycle Bin bypass standard recovery. We use professional sector-level scanning tools to recover these files from unallocated drive space, provided the sectors have not been reused by the operating system.
Lost or Deleted Partition Recovery
Accidentally deleted a drive partition? Partition loss makes all files on that partition appear gone, but the underlying data is usually still intact. We recover lost partitions and their contents on-site using partition recovery utilities.
USB Flash Drive & SD Card Recovery
Files accidentally deleted from USB flash drives, camera SD cards and microSD cards recovered on-site. We image the device first to prevent further data degradation during the recovery process, then perform recovery from the image.
Cloud Sync Recovery Assistance
Files deleted from OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox may be recoverable from the cloud provider's version history or trash. We walk you through the recovery process for your specific cloud provider and assist with recovering the maximum number of files.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can you recover files deleted from the Recycle Bin?
Yes. Files deleted from the Recycle Bin using Shift+Delete or after emptying the bin can often be recovered if the storage sectors have not been overwritten. The most critical factor is to stop using the device immediately and call us before new files are written to the drive.
How long after deletion can files still be recovered?
There is no fixed time limit — what matters is how much the drive has been used since the deletion. On a lightly used drive, files can sometimes be recovered weeks later. On a heavily used drive, recovery may fail within hours. Stop using the device and call immediately.
Can you recover files from a formatted drive?
Yes, in many cases. Formatting removes the file system index but the underlying data usually remains on the drive. Deep-scan recovery tools can retrieve files from formatted drives, particularly if the format was performed recently and the drive has not been heavily used since.
What is your success rate for file recovery?
Success rates vary significantly depending on the storage type, time elapsed, and how much the device has been used since the data loss. We provide an honest on-site assessment before any work begins — we never quote a guaranteed success rate as every case is different.
Can you recover photos from a camera SD card?
Yes. Photo and video recovery from camera SD cards is one of our most common file recovery jobs. We image the card first to prevent further degradation, then recover image files using professional scanning tools. JPEG, RAW, MP4, MOV and all common formats supported.
Is my data safe with PC Doctor Onsite?
Yes. All file recovery is performed on-site at your home, so your storage device and recovered files never leave your property. We do not copy, retain or access personal data beyond what is necessary to confirm successful recovery.

I previously used a large company that advertises on radio and TV, and I was extremely disappointed. They tried to overcharge me and push unnecessary services.
I then called PC Doctor Onsite, and the experience was completely different. The technician was very knowledgeable, fixed my laptop issue quickly, and gave me honest, fair advice without trying to rip me off. I’m very pleased with the service and would highly recommend them.
