[@yourpcmd]

Good video, however, when you delete it from the SD card, just because it does not go into the recycle bin does not mean they are deleted. They don't get really deleted until you remove the SD card because they are stored in a temp location and sometimes depending on availability, in memory. To prove that, simply hit CTRL + Z and your files will return. To permanently delete the files, hit Shift + Delete.

[@dvongrad]

A little misleading in that formatting the drive was a quick format, which simply overwrites the FAT and marks the space as free. Also, Recuva's capacity to restore files will depend on the colour of the circle before the file name-green for a very good chance of recovery, yellow for 50/50, and red for near zero.

[@CyberCPU]

Quick format is always the default. In order to do a longer format you have to actually uncheck the quick format selection.

[@soulstenance]

@@CyberCPU Point is that quick format is practically identical to just deleting the files if not entirely identical. It also won't damage flash memory like a full format would since no bytes are actually being overwritten. If there is a tool that can recover reliably from a fully formatted drive that would be quite something. This is great information for the average user who might not have known this was possible though.

[@CyberCPU]

@@soulstenance it isn't possible in most cases. In the case of an accidental format, it's likely it will be a quick format. I don't know of a way to reliably recover files from a regular format.

I been tryin 2 recover files I lost in a folder due 2 a virus since Monday(5 days), it has been frustratin, to say the least....sleepless night, daily routine flow interrupted, overeating, etc. Malware made 1 of my folders completely empty & unable to open...alot of those files have been there for months, & due to finance draw back, I have not been able to back them up like I normally due. I followed this video step-by-step, & it worked!!! I was able to see & retrieve every missin/deleted file, data, music, pics, video, documents, etc.!!! And I saved those files to a new folder on anotha installed drive as recommended.. The program is free!!! It will ask u to upgrade, but it isn't necessary to upgrade the program to retrieve your missin files....the free version takes care of it all.. Whew!! Thanks again!!

[@Cookie__XD]

In case of a formatted drive, restore the deleted partition with Testdisk instead. Only works if nothing else happened to the formatted drive after it being formatted. Also of course it only works with quick formatted drives. He forgot to mention the important difference between quick and full format I guess.

Going with what you said on recovering "accidently" dot dot dot.. A good video on that line would be if someone has a USB-drive or any that when plugged in does not show it or say's it's corrupted.. I have, for a few clients attempted to bring back from the dead, those mentioned drives.. It took me a couple weeks to figure it out, but most of them I was able to recover data or make it usable again. The only ones I could not "FIX" were those with physical damage and a couple that were literally fried.. I believe this could make a very viewed video.. How many times have you went to plug in a usb-drive to have it not show up?? Yeah, me too.. Many of your other viewers may find that very handy.. Loved the video, I find them very informative & helpful... Thank you for sharing..

[@Alpha-ms9nj]

I once had a hard drive that wouldn't boot at all. I had to learn how to use Test Disk and Photo Rec which are Linux based recovery tools. I had zero experience with Linux but I finally figured it out and got all my data files and photos back. I then trashed that HDD for a new one and reinstalled Windows. I've used Recuva to get back files and photos before even long after I realized I had deleted stuff. Luckily the files weren't overwritten and recoverd nicely. It works well.

[@furiousone942]

I pronoun it like Recovah. Sort of like a New Yorker saying Recover. :)

I was trying to find a way to convert an Mac APFS to NTFS, without data loss, to share a bunch of files with a PC user. My Partition Wizard program would not convert APFS to NTFS without data loss. I even called the company and ask if it was possible. They said not possible. Then I got the idea to use the data recovery component of my Partition Wizard to "recover" files from the APFS partition and "restore" them to an NTFS partition. It worked great.

Hi. Great video !!!! I do have a question for you though. I was building a new machine and accidently installed windows 11 to the wrong drive. I know I know !! A very stupid mistake. Here's my problem. The drive that the new version of windows was installed on was a 14 terabyte monster. I don't have another drive with that much free space on to do the recovery to. I believe that the drive actually contained about 12 terabytes of videos and other assorted types of data. I have a couples of smaller 4 TB drives that I could use, but nothing that really fits the need. I was wondering if I could do the recovery to one of the online mass storage companies ? Can you recommend one of them that might let me do it for a month of storage and then I could format the original drive and then download the recovered files ? Any suggestions you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank You

I have no idea how Recuva is correctly pronounced, but yours is a very reasonable guess. But you did say "CCleaner" wrong. You said "C-C-Cleaner". It's just C-Cleaner (presumably because it cleans the "C" drive). If you insist on saying "C-C" it would be C-C-Leaner. Just the 2 Cs, not 3...

[@kaislate]

I think it is worth mentioning that professional data recocery NEVER tries to recover using the oroginal hardware. The very first thing to do is to duplicate the drive to another known working drive and do recovery on that. You make a bit for bit low level copy. That may be beyond the scope of this videoe, but can save you if it is hardware related. (Or if you mess something up) Speaking of messing something up. It is always easier to recover when you have a map intact. RAW recovery is possible, but is a pain the butt. Tools like recuva have made this a lot easier. DDMS, Test Disk, and PhotoREC are great tools, but there are no protections with those tools from you doing something that messes things up even more. Unfortunately, this isnt something people practice and when you need to use it then it is almost certainly the very first time youve used these tools. Do not buy any software for data recovery If recuva doesnt find it no paid software will... EXCEPT R-Studio. R-Studio Data Recovery is probably the best there is and is indeed paid. The logging it gives is great too so you can understand what is happening.

I tried to use Recuva on my Windows laptop since my Android table formatted the microsd card without even asking me for some reason. After waiting an hour for the Windows laptop to fully finish booting up despite my best efforts to remove the bloatware from the thing a while ago I ran Recuva 11pm last night and just when it only one hour left on the deep scan the program crashed so that is 24 hours wasted. I don't know if it was the ram, the program or the fact that it has Windows which is the worse OS on the planet, this is why I defected to Chromebooks since while I have issues with Google I hated Windows for years and this event was a reminder of it. I hope people have a better luck then I did.
