The final step is to restore your files from a backup or a shadow copy. A backup is a copy of your files that you have saved on an external device or a cloud service. A shadow copy is a snapshot of your files that Windows creates automatically as part of the system restore feature. To restore your files from a backup, connect your backup device to your computer and copy the files to their original locations. To restore your files from a shadow copy, use a tool like ShadowExplorer, which can access and recover the shadow copies of your files. To use ShadowExplorer, download it from its official website and install it on your computer. Then, launch it and select the drive and the date of the shadow copy you want to restore. Then, right-click on the folder or file you want to recover and choose export.
By following these steps, you can remove Locky ransomware from your Windows system and recover your files. However, the best way to prevent ransomware infections is to avoid opening suspicious email attachments, keep your software updated, and use a strong anti-malware program.
