Recover Deleted Files - Comments Page 3

I stupidly deleted a bunch of faxes that were being sent to my pc with paperport. I beleive they were tif files. They did not go in to the recycle bin but just totally disappeared. We used a program called Card recovery that we had for my camera and can see the files but are not able to open them up? Any suggestions.

EDITOR'S NOTE: My understanding of file recovery tools is that they are device agnostic -- they don't care (or know) if you're working with a hard drive, a flash drive, or a pop tart plugged in via USB cable.

My OS is Vista Homepremium,can restoration work with it too?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't see why not.

Thank YOU !!!!

Thanks; this is the first time I've had to recover files in windows. I have done it in DOS, (yes, I go back that far, DOS 2.0), Restoration worked flawlessly and fast, 12000 files.

Ok, so I have an external HDD. I cut and pasted some files to it from my video camera. Somehow I deleted these files. I used Iin recuva it says that they have been overwritten but i havent saved or deleted anything from the HDD yet. So i have the files but i just cant open them. any suggestions?

EDITOR'S NOTE: My only suggestion would be to try a different recovery tool.

I'm guilty . . . and stupid. WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM. Started to delete items from SEARCHES/EVERYWHERE then realised I was deleting folders too. Tried to restore but didn't get all of them. Recycle bin now empty. How do I restore the remainder. Most of these are business use. Please help.Tks.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you try any of the file recovery tools mentioned in this article? If you deleted a lot of stuff, and it was over-written by other files later, they may not be recoverable.

I have lost an essay from my computer that is in desperate need! I restored my recycling bin but that didn't recover it. I have no idea where to find it at. PLEASE help me find it!

Hi, I HAVE to find a .ppt but restoration doesn't seem to be finding it. I am SURE I deleted it and the program says that there is no such file. Help?

EDITOR'S NOTE: You could try a different file restore program, but most likely the file has been over-written with other data.

Interesting read, I am definately going to check this out! Thanks!

What about when you cut the file instead of copying and forgot to paste, so then copied something else and overwritten the data(i know its stupid but happened)can you still restore the file?

Thanks

Your the freaking man!!! It worked!! I got some very important files off my hard drive. And to think i was just about to pay some a**hole lying about how hard the process is to make the ridiculous price sound necessary. I used a usb 2.0 enclosure and connected the hardrive then ran your suggested program. Thanks again bro!!!!

Data Rescue works perfectly!
I've lost a whole lot of important pictures because of my absent-mindedness, and it helped me to restore my files. Fortunately I've found how to recover deleted files mac

thank god for restoration, i deleted my whole music library by accident (don't ask me how).

hi shelby,

For restoring recycle bin files use this software: http://www.retrievedeletedfiles.net/ .if you have any problem PM mail me.

can you tell me where is the deleted files are stored in a memory device ?

I have to say may be are other programs on internet for recover deleted files I appreciate the work from a company called Piriform they have a good recover program called "Recuva". You can visit their webpage. If you want to download the recover program called "Recuva Installer" look for the link "http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva" or visit their website at "http://www.piriform.com/".

I can't restore any good files after empty my trash, I will tell you that the "Restoration" program si good to repleace up the clusters.

I downloaded the restoration program but when I tried to search for files, it tells me to log on to an account with administrator privilege and then run the program again. What does this mean?

EDITOR'S NOTE: On Vista and Win7, you can right-click the program icon and then click "run as administrator".
