The DTS file format also called Digital Theater System, developed by DTS, Inc., is a high-fidelity audio file, designed to deliver immersive sound experiences in various media, ranging from DVDs and Blu-rays to digital streaming platforms.

The DTS file format uses advanced compression algorithms to reduce file size while preserving audio quality. This enhances the auditory experience by placing sound in a three-dimensional space. Common in home entertainment and professional audio environments, DTS is valued for its resilience against data loss during encoding and decoding, making it a reliable choice for high-quality audio.

How to Recovery Deleted or Lost DTS Files on Windows

#1. Recover DTS Files via Recycle Bin

The first place to recover deleted DTS files is to check the Recycle Bin. This is a simple yet useful feature on the Windows operating system, primarily designed to recover lost DTS files that you have temporarily deleted from local drives.

Step 1: Double-click the Recycle Bin icon located on your desktop to access the Recycle Bin. 

Step 2: Search for the DTS files that you require. If you locate them, right-click on the files and select Restore. The selected files will be returned to their original locations. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop the files you want to a different location.

Be aware that there are certain circumstances in which files cannot be recovered from the Recycle Bin:

• Files deleted with Shift + Delete: Files removed using the Shift + Delete key combination cannot be found in the Recycle Bin.
• Recycle Bin is at capacity: If the Recycle Bin is full, any files deleted afterward will not be stored in it.
• Files deleted via CMD: Files removed through CMD command lines will be missing from the Recycle Bin.
• Files deleted using third-party software: Files eliminated by third-party file cleaning tools will not show up in the Recycle Bin.
• Damaged file system: If the system drive is physically damaged, access to the Recycle Bin folder may be lost.
• Etc.

#2. Recover DTS Files from the Backup

As you can see, there are many instances where files may not appear in the Recycle Bin. Luckily, if you have backed up your DTS files using methods such as File History, a cloud backup service, or third-party backup solutions, you can restore deleted or lost DTS files straight from your backup.

Option 1. Recover files from a cloud backup service.

To access services like OneDrive, Google Drive, or similar platforms, you must log into your account and download the necessary DTS files from the cloud.

Option 2. Recover files from backup software.

If you are utilizing a professional data backup application, open the software and use its built-in recovery feature to restore the backup files.

Option 3. Recover files from Windows Backup.

If you enabled File History and backed up your DTS files with it, you can restore them from there.

1. To access File History, go to Settings > Update & Security > File backup > then click More options under Back up using File History.
2. Scroll down and choose Restore files from a current backup. In the new window, select the files you want to recover and click the green Restore button.

#3. Recover DTS Files Using Third-Party Data Recovery Software

None of the above works? Don’t be frustrated. You can use professional DTS file recovery software to perform a DTS file recovery. In fact, the files aren’t completely removed from your computer; instead, the space they use on the disk is simply marked as free and ready to be overwritten.
