To test, I moved one of the files to another location and then made a quick scan. I have seen some of the software to do that, and then one has to use the filter. The displayed results only show a list of files that can be recovered and not which are also on the hard drive. This process will perform a quick scan of the drive and give you an immediate result. Select any one of the drives, and click on the Scan button to start the scanning process. If you plug a drive later, you can always click on the refresh icon on the top-right of the hard disk drives section. It will display the exact drive letters for each, which makes it easy to identify. The primary Windows partition will be marked with a Windows icon and the external storage with a plug icon. In the next screen, you will see a list of partitions, both active and deleted but marked by different colors to easy identification. Getting back to the recovery process, click on the Start button or any specific filters to start the process. Hence it is important not to recover files on the same storage.

The software uses this as one of its methods to recover files. They are removed only when another file overwrites the same storage space, completely or partially.

They cannot be just found as the entry from the Master Table is missing. Second, the recovery software work in specific ways with the basic principle that files that are removed from the computer are not physically available.

It will increase the chances of recovery as it will not overwrite the space occupied by the files which can be recovered. However, before you start, let’s understand a few things:įirst, make sure you have an external storage device where you copy the backup. If you are looking for a specific file type, then you can choose so or click on the Start button to scan for all file types. The software offers an easy to use interface with all the recovery options upfront, i.e., specific file type recovery software along with a big Start button.
