Recuva, a freeware Windows utility from Piriform Software, allows users to restore files they accidentally delete from their PCs. Users can recover files that they have emptied from the Recycle bin, as well as images and other files they delete by mistake from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. Recuva even brings back files that bugs, crashes, and viruses have deleted!
Recuva is a new file recovery tool that will unerase files that you have mistakenly deleted from your computer. It’s fast, small, and will run from a USB drive.
It also supports most digital camera card formats, so you can restore those images you accidentally deleted! Turn off any applications you don’t need, if you are trying to recover files from a media card, stop using that card immediately.
Ideally install Recuva before you need it, as just browsing the internet and downloading the installer creates a huge number of temporary files and any one of them could overwrite the file you are trying to recover. When you need it, just Scan the drive the file was on.
Features of Recuva:
Superior file recovery
Recover pictures, music, documents, videos, emails, or any other file type you’ve lost. And it can recover from any rewriteable media you have memory cards, external hard drives, USB sticks, and more!
Recovery from damaged disks
Unlike most file recovery tools, this software can recover files from damaged or newly formatted drives. Greater flexibility means a greater chance of recovery.
Deep scan for buried files
For those hard-to-find files, this software has an advanced deep scan mode that scours your drives to find any traces of files you have deleted.
Securely delete files
Sometimes you want a file gone for good. This software can secure overwrite features and uses industry- and military-standard deletion techniques to make sure your files stay erased.
