Recuva - free file recovery software
Recuva is a freeware Windows utility to recover files that have been deleted from a hard disk drive, memory cards or MP3 players. Recuva is developed by the same people that made the famous CCleaner. Recuva is free, easy to use and fast!
Recuva (pronounced “recover”) is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files 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. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!
How does Recuva work?
When you first run Recuva you get a screen letting you choose what filetype(s) you would like to recover. I found this to be very practical because it makes Recuva only search for the needed files, and not all deleted files.
Then Recuva starts scanning for the filetype(s) you selected. Under is the result screen.
Now you will just have to select the files you would like to recover and let Recuva do its magic. Recuva does also include an auto updater so you will stay updated
