This will be the second time in life i'll have needed to undelete files. I'm not looking to unformat, just retrieve files that were not intended to have been deleted. Me and my clients boyfriend backed up the wrong user profile in windows.

Not that i don't know how to undelete files. I just don't know which applications are good for it.

I have not used this, so I can't verify it's veracity, but the other stuff that Piriform puts out is what's on the label so it should work.

Thx, i'll give that a try. I know ccleaner is a good piece of software. Recuva ought to be also.

well, first off I hope you are not posting from the computer that you need to undelete from, as using that hard drive will cause the sectors that used to be parts of the files you want to restore to get recycled and unrecoverable, you need to take that hard drive out and put it into another computer if this **** is important.

It got formatted over and not used much after what had happened was discovered. But yeah, undeleting, the only disk usage that should happen is for recovering the files. I have this hard drive plugged into a different computer right now for the scan.
Recuva appears to have done it's job. Salvaging the files now.

Good to hear!

I recovered 33gb of bull****. Most windows operating system files. I'll be going through all of the files by file type first. I'll also check out the file integrity and quality once i start sifting through all of it.
