Recovering data without an undeletion facility is usually called data recovery, rather than undeletion. Undeletion can both help prevent users from accidentally losing data, or can pose a computer security risk, since users may not be aware that deleted files remain accessible.
Permanent data erasure goes beyond basic file deletion commands, which only remove direct pointers to the data disk sectors and make the data recovery possible with common software tools. Unlike degaussing and physical destruction, which render the storage media unusable, data erasure removes all information while leaving the disk operable.
Search and Recover can rescue crucial work and cherished memories you thought were gone forever. It's fast and easy to use, and even data lost years ago can be recovered.
The most common data recovery scenarios involve an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive.
This is how data recovery programs work, by scanning for files that have been marked as deleted. As the space is freed up per byte, rather than per file, this can sometimes cause data to be recovered incompletely. Defragging a drive may prevent undeletion, as the blocks used by deleted file might be overwritten since they are marked as "empty".
Windows File Recovery is a command-line software utility from Microsoft to recover deleted files. [1] [2] It is freely available for Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020 Update) and later from the Microsoft Store. [3] Windows File Recovery can recover files from a local hard disk drive (HDD), USB flash drive, or memory card such as an SD card.
Recover My Files is a data recovery program that uses file carving to extract lost files from unallocated clusters. Recovery is based on the interpretation of file content, usually through the process of reverse engineering a file type. It can be used to recover data from external and internal hard disks, in FAT, NTFS, HFS and HFS+ file systems.
