Recuva
(pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have
been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from
the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user
error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back
files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses! Recuva is a new file
recovery tool that will unerase files that you have mistakenly deleted from your
computer. It's fast, small and will run from a USB drive. It also supports most
digital cameras card formats, so you can restore those images you accidentally
deleted! Turn off any applications you don't need, if you are trying to recover
files from a media card, stop using that card immediately. Ideally install
Recuva before you need it, as just browsing the internet and downloading the
installer creates a huge number of temporary files and any one of them could
over write the file you are trying to recover.
When you need it, just Scan the drive the file was on.
Runs on Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 and 98. Including both 32-bit
and 64-bit versions.
