2. Select "Recover Deleted Messages" from the dropdown menu.
3. A window will appear showing a list of deleted messages.

Method 4: Use a third-party data recovery software

Important notes:

• The sooner you try to recover deleted files, the better. As time passes, the chances of recovering deleted files decrease.
• Be cautious when using third-party data recovery software, as they may not always work as advertised.
