Just make sure to store all your important files somewhere else beforehand because formatting will delete all your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid storing important data on an old drive, USB drives have a lifespan of over 10 years and can vary based on how it has been used over the years. If you have a really old US drive, it is better to swap it for a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always ensure that there is a backup file for all your data, that is the best way to prevent any risk of data loss. Just make sure that the original data and the backup data are stored on 2 different drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you were able to recover all your data from your USB drive. I would also like to thank you for the time you have given to read this article. The best way to prevent such scenarios from reoccurring is to keep a duplicate set of files at all times and avoid using old USB drives that seem to be poorly maintained over the years.
