It never hurts to have one more data recovery utility in your portable toolkit, especially when it's free. Like Recuva, Disk Digger is dead simple to use, and does a good job at recovering the deleted files most users really care about - photos, music, videos, and documents. The preview pane supports most image types and some documents, and you can choose to recover a portion of files DiskDigger ...

We've gone through a ton of "simple" file recovery apps at Download Squad, and not all of them perform as advertised. Some take a painfully long time to scan only to report few - if any - recoverable files, dashing our hopes of retrieving that funny lolcat we deleted by accident. Undelete Plus, however, is a champion at what it does. It quickly completes its scan for potential targets, displays ...

If you guessed that UndeleteMyFiles is a program that hacks into government databases and gives you the secret launch codes for nuclear missiles, you really need to stop watching Cold War era movies. But what you can use this free Windows utility to do is recover some recently deleted files on your computer. There are several other free programs that do pretty much the same thing.

But like everything else, there can be a dark side (no pun intended) to digital photography: flash card corruption. Many of us have experienced that ...

Deleting files from a Windows machine can be a lot of work. First you click delete and the file doesn't really go away, it just winds up in your recycle bin. Then once you empty the trash, the file is still on your hard drive until some application comes along and writes over it. That's how computer forensics experts are able to find the naughty bits when the FBI raids your office and steals your ...

I've never really had much use for programs that let you recover deleted files. I remember back in my DOS days, struggling with undelete programs and always being disappointed when a Word document I recovered was filled with errors. Well, times have changed, and when I heard that the makers of CCleaner, a system optimization program I use all the time, had released Recuva, I decided to take it ...

For some reason Microsoft has not seen fit to provide a decent file undeletion (is that even a word?) utility in Windows like they did back in the DOS days. Luckily, Restoration exists. Restoration is a free utility that does not require an installer, and can scour your drive for deleted files and attempt to restore them. The user interface is fairly plain, but gives you all the information you ...
