    BEST FREE Windows File Recovery Recuva those files
    Recuva is one of the best FREE programs I have ever used to recover files and data from both HDD's and USB drives and memory cards. There is a paid "PRO" version but i really don't think it is necessary, the FREE version has had great results and might be all you need.
    If you are going to try to recover a lot of data or it is a large drive, make sure you have plenty of room on the recovery destination as is does a really deep dive and even my relatively small 32GB flash drive managed to create a 365GB folder! so maybe choose specific file types if you can.

    Yes Recuva finds Everything BUT it only allows a small amount of file recovery on the Free Version ( Example 100mb ) if You have say 5gb of Pics that need recovering Off to Pro You Go ... Paying time ... It is a great Program BUT just a little taster for the Paid Version

    I plugged in an external drive to suddenly find nothing in the folder in which I've been storing photos, so after seeing that Recuva had a free version, I found your review to see if it was worth a try and was glad to see that you approved. Trouble is, when I scan the folder without using the deep scan feature, nothing shows up. When I use the deep scan, however, the program seems to lock up. The dialogue box reads: Stage 1 of 3; current progress: 0%; 366104 files found. It's been sitting there for some time. It says it's calculating time left, but there's nothing indicated. And, of course, there is no movement on the progress bar (the bar is not to be seen, actually). I was considering leaving the computer on and the program running overnight to see if there might be any progress, but I suspect that there won't be.
    I realize that you're not the software's engineer, but I wonder if you've had this experience.

    • @patrickpower3992
      @patrickpower3992 Рік тому +1

    • @patrickpower3992
      @patrickpower3992 Рік тому

      Sorry I'm slow to respond to this, but I'm leaning towards taking it to a professional. Upon doing the deep scan and "finding" (I think) the many files that I'm pretty sure were in the folder, there were none to recover when the scan was complete. It's got me thinking now that I moved the folder to another drive or something even though I can't find it on another drive. Fortunately, I've not used the drive since so I've at least not written over anything.@@mikesunboxing

    Can Recuva restore a partition?
    If not, is there a way to have Recuva scan a raw partition (no drive letter)?
    If Recuva cannot recover files from a lost partition, can you recommend a different software package that can?
    Free would be ideal. But if it is capable software, and not too difficult to use, I will purchase it. Any recommendations?

      I would rather find a tool that both recovers partitions and recovers files.
      If I can have only one, then it would be to recover files. But it has to be able to recover files from lost partitions.
