Recuva: user-friendly file recovery tool

I think most of us have accidentally deleted a file at one time or another. We scour the Recycle Bin and the file is not there. How do we get it back?

One useful tool for this job is Recuva. It scans your drives for deleted files, gives you a report of their state (Excellent, Poor, Uncoverable, and so on) and restores the ones that are still recoverable.

Recuva is a freeware and very user-friendly. It can even recover deleted files from USB drives, but I think they need to connected first.

(Tip: you're more likely to recover a recently deleted file than an old one, but there's no harm in trying. All the best!)
