“Recover accidentally deleted files”
about Recuva
Deleting files by accident is something that happens more often than you think no matter how computer literate you are. This is why it's always a good idea to have a tool like Recuva.
With Recuva (pronounced as "recover") you can restore files that have been accidentally deleted from the computer, a USB drive, an MP3 player or even a memory card from your photo camera.
All you have to do is select the drive you want to recover files from and let Recuva do a full scan. As soon as it's finished, you'll see a list with all the recoverable files, which you can sort in several ways and also search with a customizable filter tool. Then simply select the files you want to recover and you're ready to go.
Obviously Recuva is just a software tool and can't perform miracles. The sooner you use the program after deleting those files, the more chance you have of recovering them. Also, try saving them to a different drive: it improves the percentage of success.
If you've just accidentally deleted some important files, don't freak out: try using Recuva and you'll probably be able to restore them.
