File recovery software programs

[ttott]

Many free file recovery programs exist that can help recover your accidentally deleted files. These file recovery programs can help you "undelete" files on your computer.

Files you have deleted and then recently emptied from your Recycle Bin are often still present on your hard drive (or USB drive, or media card, etc.) and can be recovered using free file recovery software.

Important: You can greatly increase the chance of recovering a file by minimizing your computer use as soon as possible. See the File Recovery Software FAQ for more on this, plus answers to common questions I get about file recovery.

I've done recovery. It takes forever and I tried a couple different programs. Whatever I used meant that I had to go through each file one by one to recover things. A couple years later I downloaded the free program of the day. Often these programs are not so great, but I received a Chinese File Recovery program. The freebie had to be installed that day to be free, so I put it on three of my computers. One day I was curious what it would do so I had it restore whatever deletes were left on the hard drive in the free space and such. I wish I had this program before. It recovered lots of files and sorted them into folders by file type, etc. I was impressed. I will try to find it and return with the program name today, if I can find it.

iCare Data Recovery Professional 4.6.3 is what I got free. The latest of same goes for $89.95 now.

Some free software is available, recovers 2 GB of data and is yours to keep
