A lot of important files have been lost as a result of accidental deletion. This continues to cause a lot of problems for users who have little or no idea on how to recover lost files through other means know to experienced PC users. With Recuva (pronounced “recover”), you probably now have a chance of having your old files back the way you have always wanted it.

What’s Recuva

Recuva is a freeware Windows utility to recover files that have been deleted accidentally from your PC. Some of these files include ones 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. Recuva is also built with features to bring back files that have also been deleted by bugs, crashes, and viruses.

Latest addition to Recuva include the following; added support for 3TB external drives, added support for hard disks with 4 KB sectors, improved NTFS deep scan recovery reliability, added VHD drive image creation for system drives (only available in pro version), and fixing of a minor bug with opening VHD images in Windows.

Downsides

Recuva is a decent piece of software, but is a bit restricted in terms of what it can do. The pro version is however, more feature-rich.
