undelete files and folders Recuva is a file recovery tool that enables you to scan your hard drive(s) or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you with a list of files that were found, along with an assessment of their recovery potential, a preview option and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g images, audio etc.) and choose between a fast and a deep scan approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found during the scan, in order to prevent any future recoveries.

Excellent - couldn't be better or simpler. 5 stars by tim.fenelon544
Use 7 zip which is available here to open the downloaded program. In 4 minutes, this program recovered 3 gigs of accidentally deleted video files from a sd card (one file only was corrupted and may have been like this initially). The file names were recovered intact (but not the folder name and that is no inconvenience). Thank you Recuva team. showShow review details
No file names after restore 3 stars by rembrandt (Read all my 2 reviews)
I deleted a huge folder on a 1Gb drive (video backup in DVD format) After waiting 14 hours the program shows a list of files with folder and file names. After choosing files to restore, the files are restored wih no folder name or file name to associate which videos (movies) are which. I now have hundred of unnamed DVD files, only hundreds of VOB's, IFO's, and BUP files not knowing what goes where. I tried another file restore app available on Snapfiles and it restored the files and folders as they were on my HD, complete with file and folder names. I will write comments/review under the name of that program. (not sure if I should say which program here). showShow review details
Excellent digital camera file recovery (sony) 5 stars by Kris_Self
Used this to recover video files I had deleted from my Memory Stick Pro Duo. Installation was quick and easy, and the user interface was intuitive and self explanatory. A light scan for my specified file type (i.e video files) took about 10 seconds (on a 4Gb card), and provided stats on health of each file. Recovery of the files I selected took another 10 seconds or so. Quick, painless, and free ! Excellent. showShow review details
