So sorry to hear about that. Deep Scan works by reconstructing files and can only work with certain types of files (this is a limitation of the files themselves). Unfortunately, games files are not supported at this time. You can see a full list of 350+ compatible file types here: www.cleverfiles.com/help/file-types/

This happened to my mother 10 years ago She called the IT guy and told Jim that she was copying and it all disappeared. He sat there and he said both USB drives are not working anymore, and he right click formatted them both without even asking her. Too late now. Those were all the photos of our family since marriege for the first 10 years of our lives. 4 children and parents. All gone just like that My poor mother is so traumatized she doesn't care about anything getting deleted anymore because of how valuable what was deleted was. She cried for 3 weeks then.

Excellent. Saw a few of your YT vids, nice job Andy, really. Much appreciated. Have W7 & SanDisk Cruzer. 'Tried the CMD solution: 1st command worked fine ... but don't know where the results went after the 2nd command. Then tried Solution #2, unsure if my Explorer has the 'Home' tab for 'History'. Downloaded DD Basic: I mistakenly chose a Full / Deep / ARMethods scan which produced 7.5 GB. Too much, most of which is safe and sound in the USB stick as originally stored. Q: Would DD Pro allow me to "retrieve" the file names I had for folders & files? I accidentally lost only a few folders (w/their corresponding files [hundreds]). Many in the scan are now renamed. Would sure like to avoid reorganizing everything. // Thank you SO MUCH for your time, expertise & dedication! God bless. EDIT: Yikes, DD Pro is $89! Thought it was $29.

Thanks! This happened to me a few days ago. When I was gonna work on some files, I noticed that my USB memory seemed to have cleansed itself of all the containing files. I panicked and started to look for solutions online and found this video. For me, it was Disk Drill that worked. Although some files were unrestorable, I managed to get some of the most important files back. Unfortunately, the second tip didn't help at all since the USB history had been inactivated all the time. From now on, I'm also gonna store files on Google Drive. That way, I have double guarantee just in case something like this would happen again.

I know this is from 3 years ago but I think this might have saved me. the only method that seems to be working is the last one from what I'm seeing but the thing is still scanning. I have years of digital artwork I've done saved on that. a grand majority of it was stuff I don't have saved anywhere nor shown to anyone, as its not been posted anywhere either. Over 1k images. I misclicked when deleting a file and accidentally deleted the whole entire folder. I felt like I was about to cry... like I lost YEARS of work in the matter of a second... I hope this works, and like I said its already looking like it might... thank you... I'm so so happy this video exists I can't stress that enough
