How to recover deleted files. How to get deleted files back on PC
(for example, when deleting files from Windows Explorer, you pressed the Shift+Del keys). Chances are that the files are still on the hard drive - you just need to find them.
To successfully recover lost files, you need to follow some steps. Don't despair - you don't have to be an IT expert to do this, and you also don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to a specialist to recover your information. The R-Undelete utility is intended primarily for novice users. It uses the same technologies as our professional data recovery utility R-Studio, while its user interface is quite user-friendly and easy to use, making the program an ideal solution for most users when recovering deleted files.
But before you download R-Undelete (or any other file recovery utility), it is imperative that you understand and adhere to a few important rules:
First of all
First of all, you need to minimize the information stored on your computer's disk. To understand why this is needed, let's consider what happens when files are deleted - both accidental and intentional. In reality, Windows does not delete data instantly. When data is deleted, the disk sectors where they were located are marked as “deleted” and become available for recording information by other applications (programs). Therefore, all your data, including information about file names, can partially or completely remain on the disk, and therefore can be recovered.
However, there is always a chance that Windows will need this disk space to write new data. And if the sectors where the “deleted” data was located are overwritten, then it will no longer be possible to restore them.
Therefore: the sooner you start the data recovery process, and the less data is written to the disk, the higher your chances of recovering .
So our main recommendation is this: do not use the computer on which the lost files were located. If you are downloading something to the system drive, then cancel the download. Do not run programs, create (save) any files, or use the Internet until you have restored the data. If possible, do not even turn off or restart the computer, since Windows constantly writes information to the system disk during the process of turning on/off the computer.
Leave your computer on but don't use it. If you have another computer, then use it - download the R-Undelete utility onto it and copy it to removable media, for example, a USB flash drive or CD-RW
If you have an R-Undelete registration key, write it down or save a copy of it in a text file on removable media.
If you do not have a registration key, you can run R-Undelete in demo mode. In this mode, all data recovery operations are available, including searching for files and scanning the disk. The only limitation is that in this mode you cannot save recovered files larger than 256 KB. This allows you to evaluate the possibilities of data recovery before purchasing a license. If the lost files are found, you can immediately buy a license, enter the received registration key into the registration field of the program and immediately restore the files without losing what has already been done.
Below we discuss in detail the process of recovering deleted files from an external exFAT disk R-Undelete. In this example, we will restore a folder (and all the files in it) called "Photos" that was deleted from the "MyVacation" folder.
Let's delete the "Photos" folder to the Recycle Bin (to demonstrate R-Undelete's data recovery capabilities only - you do not need to delete any files from your computer to study this tutorial).
Here you can see the "Photos" folder in the trash...

Close the viewer to return to the remaining files.
Deep Scan
If a quick search doesn't find your deleted files, you can try a deep scan. During this procedure, R-Undelete deeply analyzes all data on the disk, including parsing information about files and searching for files based on their signatures. You can read more about the Deep Scan procedure and file signatures on the R-Undelete help page: .
Click the Deep scan button 
To enlarge the image, click on it.
R-Undelete will begin scanning. The scanning process can be monitored while the disk is being analyzed.

When all the necessary files are marked for recovery, a sufficiently large amount of space should be available on another drive to save them.
Never save recovered files to the same location as they were, or you may lose them completely!
Choose how you want to save files: either in file type folders or in an actual folder structure.
After all the necessary preparations have been made, click on the Recover button to begin file recovery. Wait while R-Undelete recovers the files and evaluate the results.

The recovery session is now complete. Go to the Disks panel to start the next session or click the Exit button to exit the program.
Upgrade R-Undelete Home to R-UNDELETE
The free version of R-Undelete Home allows the user to evaluate how the program recovers files from NTFS and ReFS file systems, for which it has full functionality for saving files smaller than 256KB. Regardless of this limitation, all recovered files can be viewed in the built-in viewer to assess the chances of their recovery before you upgrade the home version (R-Undelete Home) to recover files from NTFS and ReFS drives.
You need to purchase a license for R-UNDELETE if you want to recover files from NTFS and ReFS drives. Moreover, R-UNDELETE can recover files from any volumes visible to the operating system. This could be software or hardware RAIDs, Windows Storage Spaces, etc.
This can be done on the fly, even while performing file recovery operations, and the program does not need to be restarted. For more information, see the R-Undelete help page: .
Conclusion
You can see that recovering files using R-Undelete is quite easy even for a novice user. Using this utility will not damage your hard drive or affect the performance of your PC. Therefore, it is quite reasonable to try using this program before turning to the services of specialists.
It is not easy for a modern person to imagine his life without a computer and the Internet. Considering the speed with which general computerization covers all areas of our activity, one can only be amazed at how quickly a person adapts to changes. Working without computers has become almost impossible. Therefore, issues of data storage and information processing are becoming more relevant than ever. Many of us have had to deal with the unpleasant situation of deleting necessary files.
Are there ways to return deleted, but so necessary, information? Is it possible, and if so, how exactly to recover deleted files on your computer? Let's look at all the methods for recovering information on your computer in order - from simple to complex. So, situation one.
How to recover a file from the Recycle Bin
So, you accidentally deleted a file from a folder by pressing the key "Delete" or swiped it with the mouse into the trash can on the desktop. This is a fairly common situation that is easy to deal with even for a beginner. The fact is that the backup storage of all deleted files on your computer - that same notorious recycle bin - does not give you the opportunity to permanently delete information from your hard drive.
At home, you threw the trash into the trash can in the kitchen, but haven't taken it out yet. This is how the Windows Recycle Bin works. Once you rummage through it, you can easily find what’s missing.
By clicking on the trash can icon on your desktop, you will see a list of all recently deleted files. Sort by date and find the file you need. Return it to its original place by simply right-clicking and selecting the drop-down menu item - “Recover file”.
How to recover files deleted from the Recycle Bin
Situation number two: you cannot find the deleted file in your computer's Recycle Bin. Most likely, you emptied the trash, or it performed this action automatically.
Another way to recover deleted files is to use a Windows feature called Backup Restore. To see if previous versions of a folder exist, select Folder Options - Previous Versions.
Select the folders of previous shadow copies in order and look for the necessary information.
This method will only work if you have not disabled the protection and recovery system. Unfortunately, to save resources, many users disable this option. And they get themselves into even bigger problems. Therefore, we ask you to consciously choose between the security of your computer and questionable performance acceleration.
How to recover files using third-party programs
The third situation is a stalemate. You didn't find any deleted files in the Recycle Bin or in previous versions.
Time to panic? No, all is not lost yet. If native Windows data recovery and protection tools didn’t help you, it’s time for heavy artillery. In this case, we recommend the third-party utility Recuva.
Easy to use, and most importantly - free, the program allows you to recover files deleted from the recycle bin. Download the program distribution package (in other words, the installer) from the official website and run it.
The program is quite easy to use, and you can easily return the necessary information using Recuva. In this case, you need to understand that time is against you. The safety of deleted files is also negatively affected by your activity after deletion. The more time has passed, the more actions have been taken, the less chance of recovery. This is due to the fact that hard drive sectors are being overwritten all the time.
It must be said that lucky owners of SSD drives will not be able to use the Recuva program: the solid-state drive's support for the automatic TRIM function makes the recovery process impossible.
When writing information to a disk, TRIM looks for the cell with the fewest write cycles and immediately writes a new one there. This uniform use of memory cells eliminates the need for defragmentation and speeds up the disk. You have to pay for such an advantage - if files from the recycle bin have already been deleted, they cannot be returned.
If the information is not deleted, and the disk simply fails, then here you can turn to professionals. Choose good specialists from a reliable company and contact them. It is often easier to pay a certain amount of money and hope for a positive result.
Let's try to summarize. So, despite constant criticism, Windows has many useful tools, one of which is creating and storing backup copies of documents and folders. If you do not use standard system protection elements, if you delete files, you can rely on third-party utilities to help you.
Storing information in digital form has many advantages, among which the most significant is the amount of data that can be recorded in the minimum unit of memory of a digital device. But this storage method also has its drawbacks. If the storage device fails, the operating system crashes, or user errors occur, data may be lost. Fortunately, in most cases, unintentional file deletion is not permanent and with the right and timely approach, they can be recovered.
Recovering deleted files is possible thanks to the very algorithm for recording information on the hard drive. New files are not written to empty sectors or cells, but over previously deleted ones, physically stored on the disk until they are completely overwritten. That is, when deleting, files are not destroyed immediately. Instead, the system erases the first character of the file name and marks the space it occupies as free, while the file itself remains on the disk. The exception is SSD drives with the TRIM function enabled; the cells of such media are completely erased, so restoring accidentally deleted files becomes an almost impossible task.
So, is it possible to recover files deleted from your computer? Yes, quite, unless they were overwritten by other data. For these purposes, it is best to use special programs, since Windows itself does not have any intelligible tools. You can restore files using standard tools only if they have been moved to the Recycle Bin, and also if the system has the shadow copy function and/or file history enabled. First, let's look at an example of recovering files deleted from a hard drive without using third-party programs.
Recovering deleted files using Windows
In Windows 7 and 10, if you open the properties of any folder or file, you can see the “Previous Versions” tab, and in it - a list of backup copies of objects. Even if the files were deleted past the Recycle Bin, just select the desired backup version and click the “Restore” or “Open” button.
But it's not that simple. The fact is that your “Previous Versions” tab will most likely be empty, at least in the properties of directories on the user disk. In order for copies to be created, protection must be enabled in the system properties for the corresponding partition, that is.
Note: You can return deleted files using the “Previous Versions” function only if they were located in folders and not in the root of the disk.
It is highly desirable that the system also enable the “File History” function, which provides periodic backup of the contents of user libraries and the desktop.
This primarily applies to Windows 8 and 8.1 systems, in which there is no “Previous Versions” tab in object properties. It is difficult to say for sure what prompted Microsoft developers to remove it from the eighth version and then return it in the tenth, however, the shadow copy technology itself was untouched.
How to recover files deleted from a computer by gaining direct access to shadow copies will be discussed below, but for now let’s say a few words about “File History”. This option appeared in Windows 8 as an alternative to the “Previous Versions” function, which were tied to the creation of system restore points. The “File History” function is independent, but in order to use it, an additional physical disk or flash drive must be connected to the computer, or, alternatively, a network drive.
Recovering deleted data with its help is very simple. To do this, click on the “Recover personal files” link, select a folder or a file located in it in the window that opens, and click the button with a rounded arrow.
Now regarding the recovery of files from shadow copies in Windows 8 and 8.1. As already mentioned, the “Previous Versions” tab is missing in these versions of the system. So what if you need to restore a specific file, do you really need to roll back to the previous restore point? Not at all necessary.
Open a command prompt as administrator and run the command vssadmin list shadows.
As a result, you will receive a list of all restore points. Pay attention to the “Source volume” parameter; it will indicate the drive letter from which you are going to recover data. Then, having determined the backup copy number (it is indicated at the end of the Shadow Copy Volume parameter value), run the following command:
mklink /d %SystemDrive%/shadow //?/GLOBALROOT/Device/HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy7/
In this example, the recovery point is number 7, your value will be different. As a result of executing the command, a symbolic link will appear in the root of drive C shadow.
By following it, you will find yourself exactly in the shadow copy!
This method works equally well in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, but again you need to remember that it makes sense to resort to it only if the system has the function of creating system restore points enabled.
Recovering files using special programs
Above, we looked in detail at how to restore files deleted from the Recycle Bin when it was emptied or lost for other reasons, using the system itself. As shown above, all these methods have significant limitations. To be able to recover data directly from a disk, and not from backup copies, you should use special programs, including both paid and free ones.
R-Studio
R-Studio is a powerful professional program for recovering deleted files from a wide variety of digital devices, from hard drives to CD/DVDs and memory cards. The application supports working with all popular file systems, RAID arrays, and can create images of physical disks and individual volumes. Despite the fact that R-Studio is aimed at experienced users, the data recovery procedure in it is not complicated.
After launching the program, select the target disk or partition in the left column and click the “Show disk contents” icon on the toolbar.
In this case, a list of deleted directories will be displayed on the left, and their contents, marked with red crosses, will be displayed on the right.
Check the boxes for the objects you would like to restore and select the “Restore marked” option in the main menu. Next, in the window that opens, you will need to specify the folder to save the files, set additional recovery options if necessary, and click “OK.”
If files were lost due to file system damage or formatting, it is advisable to scan the disk by selecting the appropriate option in the main menu.
Preliminary scanning of the media allows you to perform a more holistic and in-depth analysis, which means increasing the chance of recovering lost data.
Upon completion of the procedure, a new item “Found by signatures” will appear in the list of disks.
Select it with the mouse, click in the right column on the link “Files found by information about the typical features of their data structure”, mark the necessary elements in the next window and restore them.
Ontrack EasyRecovery
Another professional commercial product that allows you to quickly and effectively recover deleted files. Ontrack EasyRecovery has a convenient interface in the form of a step-by-step wizard, which greatly facilitates working with the program. The application supports data recovery from hard drives, ZIP and CD/DVD drives, flash drives, memory cards, RAID arrays, as well as various devices with flash memory.
The recovery procedure in Ontrack EasyRecovery consists of several stages. At the first stage you will be asked to select the media type, at the second you need to specify a specific disk or partition, at the third you will need to select an operation (in this example it is recovery).
To do this, select the directory with the deleted files in the tree list (it will be marked in green), right-click on it and select the “Save as” option from the menu.
You can also restore individual files by doing the same in the right column of the program window. If you switch to the “Previews” tab, you can view thumbnails of the files being restored, although such viewing is only available for images.
Recuva
Among the free programs for recovering deleted files, we can recommend Recuva. This simple yet effective tool allows you to recover any type of data from various digital media, supports viewing previews of images and hexadecimal code of files of different formats.
Recuva is very easy to use. After starting the program, you need to select a volume in the drop-down list and click the “Analyze” button. The program will scan the media and display a list of deleted files.
Check the boxes for the items you need, click the “Recover” button and specify the directory to save them.
You can also use the context menu by selecting the “Restore selected” option.
The program has a simple search by file name and format, and you can view basic information - status, date of creation and modification, size and full path.
You need to know about this
So, we looked in detail at what to do if you deleted the file you needed. Using third-party programs in this case has its advantages, as it allows you to recover files even if the partition is deleted and the file system is damaged, but there are some things to keep in mind. If you accidentally delete or lose files, never write any data to the partition in which they were located, as there is a risk of overwriting the sectors containing them.
For this reason, the recovery program should be installed on a “free” partition, different from the one from which you are going to restore. Ideally, you need to remove the hard drive, connect it to another computer and start scanning from it. You also cannot save recovered files to the same partition; in this case, you risk losing them completely. That is, if you are restoring files from drive D, you should save them to drive C or a flash drive.
Instructions
Connect to the Internet and download Easy Recovery Professional. It is better to use version 6.0 and higher. Install this utility and restart your computer. The installation should be performed on the partition of the disk from which you will not restore files. After the operating system has finished loading, open the EasyRecovery.exe file and wait for the program to start.
If we are talking about deleted files, then open the Data Recovery menu. Find the Deleted Recovery item in the window that appears and open it. On the left side of the new menu there will be a list of local drives. Select the one from which you recently deleted data. If you need to recover files of a certain type, then fill out the File Filter menu. This will significantly reduce the time the program spends searching for files.
Click Next and wait for the analysis of hidden sectors of the selected partition to complete. After a while, a list of files that can be recovered will be displayed on the left side of the new menu. The time it takes the program to prepare files depends on the speed of your computer and the size of the specified local disk.
Select the checkboxes for the required data and click Next. In the window that opens, click the Browse button and specify the folder in which the recovered data will be saved. You must select a currently unused hard drive partition. Click Next and wait for the process to complete.
Close the program by clicking the Done button. Check the recovered data. If some files were not found, then repeat the steps described above, activating the Complete Scan function before starting a hard drive scan. The program used allows you to recover data even after formatting certain disk partitions.

note
Accidentally deleted files, an emptied Windows Recycle Bin, a formatted flash drive, or a damaged hard drive are just some of the situations that can cause data loss. Fortunately, in many cases the information can be returned. New generation programs analyze any storage media and can restore all deleted files. If you don't know how to recover deleted files, Magic Uneraser will help you.
Helpful advice
How to recover deleted files from your computer. Inaccurate users often delete files, sometimes without even noticing it, and this becomes clear only after accessing the desired file. The process of recovering deleted files is not as complicated as many people think. The likelihood of returning the necessary information depends on how quickly you detect its loss. After deleting a file, it does not disappear forever, but only visible information about its presence on the computer is erased.
Unpleasant moments happen in the life of every personal computer user: situations such as accidentally deleting necessary files by pressing the Shift+Del keys, that is, bypassing the recycle bin. In fact, deleting files from a hard drive means erasing the record of their presence on the disk. It turns out that files are not removed and are in the same place where they were before. But in the process of work these files may be overwritten by other files. Therefore, if you discover that a file is missing, you must act immediately.
You will need
- Handy Recovery Software.
Instructions
The deletion of the file could have occurred not only due to our oversight or carelessness. Sometimes the hard drive malfunctions. All data about erased files is located in the file system table. Accordingly, the sooner the user realizes it, the greater the likelihood of a successful situation. To recover lost hard drives, specialized programs are used that can analyze the drive and identify files and them upon request.
Among the large number of such programs, one can highlight the useful Handy Recovery utility. It has a simple and user-friendly interface. Working in this program, even with an English-language interface, will not be difficult for both experienced and experienced people. A special feature of this program is the fast analysis of the file system table. The time spent on data is not calculated in hours. The program interface is made like Windows - the directory tree will seem familiar to you.
After starting the program, the main program window will appear in front of you. In order to begin the hard drive data recovery procedure, start the analysis by clicking on the appropriate button.

In most cases, files accidentally deleted from your computer can be restored. To do this, you must follow a certain procedure and use special software.
Instructions
Eliminate any writing of data to a disk on which information has been lost. This will increase the likelihood of data recovery, since when files are deleted, the files are not physically erased, but only their headers disappear, making it possible to write new files on top of them. Having ensured this, download any utility designed for file recovery. For non-commercial use, a free application called Recuva is quite suitable. After downloading the executable file, install the program on your computer.
Start the file recovery procedure. To do this, in the main program window, select the memory area intended for analysis (hard drive, flash card, other removable media or separate folder) and click on the “Scan” button. At the end of the scan, the utility will display a list of files that can be recovered (as well as information about the likelihood of recovery of each specific file). In addition, the program will determine the file name, its size, location before deletion and the date of last modification. Depending on the settings, the program displays hidden, as well as deleted system and zero-size files. In this list, find the data that needs to be restored, select it and click the “Recover” button.
Use paid software or contact a data recovery company if the files you want to recover were deleted long ago or are on faulty media. In the latter case, special equipment is used for this procedure.
We often encounter important documents or files being accidentally deleted. In some cases they are indeed lost forever, but sometimes they can be restored. I will tell you how to do this and how it is more convenient to perform restoration in this material.
What are the specifics of storing files on a hard drive?
Speaking about the technology of storing files on a hard drive, you should know that a file is physically an area on the hard drive that is magnetized in a certain way. And if a file has been deleted, all the information on it is not reset - only the data about the file from the allocation table is erased, which allows you to exclude it from the directory list. Therefore, as long as nothing is written over the deleted information, it can be restored. To do this, you need to run the appropriate program, which scans lists of files not according to the allocation table, but directly according to the sectors of the hard drive.
Is Windows capable of recovering accidentally deleted files?
The Windows operating system provides a two-step file deletion system that has already become familiar to us - the so-called Recycle Bin. All unnecessary files are placed in it, and as the basket fills up (that is, approaches its capacity limit), the oldest files are deleted. And in order to ensure the ability to recover deleted files in Windows, it is necessary to increase the size of the recycle bin, which is especially important if the computer is equipped with a sufficiently capacious hard drive. If you don't have enough free space, you can simply empty the Recycle Bin by removing all files from it or, for example, only the largest ones.
If useful information has already been deleted from the Recycle Bin, then to restore it you need to use an additional utility. However, it should be remembered that any program must first be written to disk. Therefore, it is better to either play it safe in advance and stock up on special software for data recovery, or, if we are talking about really valuable information, remove the hard drive and recreate the files on it by connecting it to another computer. This will avoid the risk of overwriting files when trying to restore them.
Which third-party programs allow you to recover files?
The universal program Magic Uneraser allows you to work with deleted files in the same way as with existing ones on the disk. Using it, you can recover data on a hard drive or flash card by simply connecting it to your computer. The utility built into the Windows shell will prompt you to analyze the disk for the presence of deleted files. After scanning, both existing and deleted files will be visible in Windows Explorer, and you will be able to examine the list of blocks available for recovery and even preview the data to be recovered. If they turn out to be what you were looking for, they can be immediately returned to any directory on the disk.
Magic Uneraser also performs a "deep analysis" of deleted files, which allows you to find even files partially damaged by repeated writing. When you select this option, a special folder called “Deep Analysis” will appear on the disk, where the preserved parts of file names, sorted by extension, will be placed. The content can also be viewed using standard Windows tools. The program's functionality also helps to find files lost due to recent disk formatting - this process takes a lot of time, but is capable of extracting all potentially useful data from the hard drive. In the same way, files are recovered from deleted disk partitions. The price of Magic Uneraser depends on the type of license and ranges from 1000 to 6000 rubles.
Serious file recovery tools are available in comprehensive computer optimization software packages such as Symantec Norton Utilites. The Norton Unerase system is included with other software. The entire family of Norton Utilites is built firmly into the operating system, so the user can easily run any diagnostic utility, disk defragmenter, or registry cleaner. The same thing happens with Norton Unerase - in any folder in the context menu you can scan files for deleted files by selecting items to be restored from the list. Norton Unerase recovers both partially saved and lost data during formatting.
A special feature of this solution is the creation of a special secure Norton Recycle Bin, into which files are placed instead of the standard Windows Recycle Bin. Norton Recycle Bin ensures that deleted files are retained for as long as possible by optimizing disk write processes so that the most important types of documents are retained for as long as possible. Additionally, Norton Utilites allows you to recover accidentally deleted email messages for some email clients. The cost of the Norton Utilities kit is 1,500 rubles. per PC, which is very affordable, considering the number of software products included in the kit.
MunSoft offers discrete products for recovering various types of data. In particular, the MunSoft Easy File Undelete utility is offered directly for files. It can work with NTFS, FAT and FAT32 file systems, simply restoring data in user-selected directories. An additional advantage of this program is its compactness - the distribution kit has a volume of 8.1 MB.
For photographers and designers, a special program is offered that restores exclusively digital images, eliminating the need to look for them among other deleted data. MunSoft Easy Digital Photo Recovery is a compact utility (4.6 MB) that can analyze a disk or selected folders for deleted photos. Before recovery, you can view the contents of the images in a format convenient for you (slideshows or thumbnails), which makes the program quite convenient for solving your problems.
You can recover MS Outlook and Outlook Express email messages using the separate software product MunSoft EasyMail Recovery. The comprehensive MunSoft EasyOffice Recovery system allows you to recover not only email messages, but also other Microsoft Office documents, even if they are partially damaged. However, you can purchase a complete package of MunSoft Data Recovery Suite data recovery software for RUB 3,000. for the organization. The convenience of this approach is that you get the opportunity to recover any data, including data lost after formatting, but at the same time you launch a specific utility, depending on the type of information being recovered.
However, you can always give preference to a free program such as PC Inspector File Recovery. It interacts with NTFS and FAT file systems, simply displaying a list of deleted files in the corresponding directories. By and large, such a utility allows you to find any files that can be recovered, it just requires an accurate understanding of what was deleted and where the file was located. When working with PC Inspector File Recovery, it is recommended to save the recovered files on another drive, as they may take the place of the information you need if the recovery is not yet complete and you continue to search for lost files.
Conclusion
It often happens that important data is deleted due to user error, operating system failure, or a false positive from an antivirus program. Sometimes the equipment itself fails, and you have to restore files from a partially inoperative hard drive. The above programs are capable of forcing things and recreating important information if possible. However, if you work with business-critical data (customer information, financial documents), it is advisable to use preventive measures, for example, the use of backup systems. In this case, the lost data can always be restored from the backup storage.

Is it possible to recover deleted files?
Unfortunately, today there are dozens of different ways through which information can disappear from your computer. Accidentally deleted files, an emptied Windows Recycle Bin, a formatted flash drive, or a damaged hard drive are just some of the possible causes. Fortunately, information is usually not lost forever. New generation programs analyze any storage media and can restore all deleted files. If you don't know how to recover deleted files, Magic Uneraser will help you.
On the left is a list of disks located on your computer, as well as devices connected to it. To recover deleted files from a flash drive, connect it to your computer, after which it will appear in this list. Select the drive that contains the deleted files. On the program panel, click the "Analysis" button. Magic Uneraser will begin to analyze the selected disk, displaying its contents. This procedure will take some time.
You can stop the file recovery process by clicking the "Stop" button, but we recommend waiting until the program finishes the operation after analyzing the entire disk.
After analysis, the program will display a list of folders located on the selected disk. By selecting the required folder on the left, you can view its contents on the right side. Thus, the program provides the ability to view the contents of the disk in the same way as in standard Windows Explorer. In addition to existing ones, deleted files and folders will be displayed. They will be marked with a special red cross, making it much easier for you to recover deleted files.
Use the "Search" option to find the required file. For convenience, use the "Filter" option to see only deleted files. Use the right pane to recover the necessary files. If the "View" option is active, then when you select a file, its contents will be immediately shown.
On the right side, select the files or folders you want to restore, and click the "Recover" button in the panel. A file recovery window will appear. You can select the folder where you want to restore deleted files. The program allows you to not only save recovered files to a hard or removable drive, but also burn them to CD/DVD, and upload them via FTP.
Use the "Deep Analysis" option if you were unable to find the required files when analyzing the disk. The program will add a "Deep Analysis" folder, where it will add the found files, sorting them by extension.
You can stop recovering data from the disk by clicking the "Stop" button.
Also use the Deep Analysis feature if you are interested recovering files after formatting hard or removable drives.
View files before recovery
The Preview option allows you to preview the content before how to recover deleted files. The preview panel is on the right, it has two tabs: "Hex" and "Preview". The first tab ("Hex") displays the file contents in hexadecimal (like a Hex editor), and has three columns: address, hexadecimal, ASCII. The second tab ("View") allows you to view the contents of the document in the form you are familiar with (either a photo, or an MS Office document, or a text document, etc.).
How to recover files from deleted drives?
The program allows you to recover files from deleted drives. To do this, click the "Find disks" button.
Specify the hard drive on which you want to find the deleted partition. Specify the search area and the type of file systems you are looking for. All found partitions will be added to the list of disks. Now you can work with deleted disks as with existing ones.
All file recovery options
Sometimes (only when working with the FAT file system) the program may mistakenly determine the beginning of the file (the first sector of its contents), several options arise. Other programs simply take the first option, with the result that, for example, instead of the desired photo, the program restores a completely different one. Magic Uneraser offers all the options, allowing you to manually select the beginning of the file. There are two ways to see the file start selection window. If the "Preview" option is active, then when such a file is selected, a button for selecting the beginning of the file appears in the preview panel. A selection window also appears when restoring such a file.
On the left side of the file start selection window, you are offered options for the first sector of the file. By selecting values on the left, you can view the contents of the file on the right side of the window.
The "Save all" button allows you to restore a deleted file in all the proposed options, and if the file is called, for example, "My file.txt", then it will be saved as "My file1.txt", "My file2.txt", " My file is 3.txt" etc.
If you select the "Do not display in this session" option by clicking "Save All", the program will no longer display the file start selection window, applying this option to all such files.
