Electronic device, storage medium, and method for recovering deleted files of the electronic device

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, causes the at least one processor to perform a method for recovering deleted files of the electronic device, the method comprising:

• (a) storing properties of a file to a file list of a storage system of the electronic device when the file being deleted from the electronic device, compressing the deleted file, and storing the compressed file in a hidden partition of the storage system;
• (b) detecting whether the deleted file needs to be recovered;
• (c) obtaining the compressed file from the hidden partition when the deleted file needs to be recovered;
• and
• (d) decompressing the compressed file, and storing the decompressed file to an active partition in the electronic device.

An electronic device, comprising:

• an input device;
• a storage system;
• at least one processor;
• and
• one or more programs that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:
• a storing module that stores properties of a file to a file list of the storage system when the file is deleted from the electronic device, compresses the deleted file, and stores the compressed file in a hidden partition of the storage system;
• a detecting module that detects whether the deleted file needs to be recovered;
• an obtaining module that obtains the compressed file from the hidden partition when the deleted file needs to be recovered;
• and
• a recovering module that decompresses the compressed file, and stores the decompressed file to an active partition in the electronic device.
