So I figured it deserved its own write-up on MakeUseOf.
It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!
The more you delay, the less chance there is of recovering it.
After using Recuva for a couple of days, I have ended up being very impressed with it.
So here’s how the program works.
2.Recuva then starts sweeping the specified hard drive looking for files that are able to be restored.
3.You then get a list of all the files that Recuva was able to find.
Red means the file is basically screwed and you’re free to forget it.
Green means that the file is in excellent condition and you could get it back no problem.
So for example, by typing in “googleupdate”, I was able to find three particular files.
5.Now say I want to want to recover those 3 files?
I just need to tick them and poke the “recover” button.
That’s basically all there is to it.
So untick them when you’ve got recovered them and you’ll be fine.
Do you use Recuva?
If so, what have been your experiences with it?
What percentage of files have you managed to recover using this app?
Is there any particular file format in your opinion that recovers better than all the others?
