Recuva: Freeware Undelete Software

Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Software" @ 04:53 PM

"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!"



A few months ago I was looking for a file undelete tool; I use PhotoRescue for scanning memory cards if I accidentally delete an image from a memory card, but I didn't have a good solution for scanning a hard drive (frustratingly, PhotoRescue won't let you select a hard drive, even a portable hard drive, as a source for photos to scan). I haven't tested this, but it looks like a nice solution - and if it's anything like the excellent CCleaner, it should work quite well. The same company also has a free defragger called Defraggler. You've got to love free, high-quality software!

PhotoRescue Now Recovers Deleted Images from Hard Drive Sources

I don't know if I've written about PhotoRescue before, but if I haven't, here's the scoop: it is, bar none, the best photo recovery tool I've ever used - and now that they've added support for hard drives, it's even more useful. Version 2.0 was great, but a bit complex to use, version 3.0 added a great wizard but lacked the ability to scan anything but a memory card, and now with version 3.1 they've added the missing piece: the ability to target any hard drive and scan it for missing files.



PhotoRescue is one of those tools that you hope you'll never need, but when you do, it's a lifesaver. I was in just such a situation: I went to Hawaii at the end of 2006, and it was my first big vacation with the Nikon D200. I was still experimenting with RAW processing at that point, looking for the best tool for processing. That vacation I shot in RAW + JPEG. Read more...
