How To Recover Deleted Files


Have you permanently deleted a file and you wish you can recover it? One of the worst thing that can happen to an individual is if an important file is permanently deleted.

Some people are asking if there is a way to recover a permanently deleted file.  The answer is "yes". There are some utilities software that is capable of bringing back the deleted files. One of them is Recuva which you can find at www.piriform.com. You will see there the three editions namely the free, home and business.

Recuva is very easy to use and the instruction is very easy to follow. Once it starts running it will ask for the types of file you want to recover and where you want it to recover. It then scans your computer and after that it displays the deleted files on your screen.  You just have to look for the file you want to recover, put a tick mark on it and after that click the recover button.

If Recuva fails to recover on your first attempt go back to the first step and redo the procedure. Just before it start scanning put a tick mark on “Enable Deep Scan”. This process may take a little longer depending on the size of your hard drive.

Although this is a great software, however, it has its limitations.  On some instances it fails to recover huge files such as the videos despite of enabling the deep scan.
