How to Recover Permanently Deleted Files

 
MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free Editon is a free but powerful data recovery software. It can recover deleted data and formatted data from hard disk, USB drive, memory card, etc.
 
Note: MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free Edition supports recovering data less than 1 GB. If you want to restore data larger than 1 GB, please use MiniTool Power Data Recovery Personal Standard Edition which does not limit the size of recovered files.
 
Step 1. Run MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free Edition. As you can see, the interface of This PC is almost the same with My Computer. It provides four recovery modules.

 

This PC is the default recovery module. Here all partitions and unallocated space are listed. You can select the partition that suffers from data loss to scan.
Removable Disk Drive is to recover data from your USB drive, memory card, SD card.
Hard Disk Drive allows users to scan hard disk to recover lost data in case the partition gets lost.
CD/DVD Drive, as its name implies, is used to scan your CD or DVD if your lost data saved there.
 
Step 2. Set the Scan Settings by clicking Settings in the lower right corner of this software before you scan the lost files. In this page, you can choose the type of file systems to scan, and tick file types you want such as document, picture, video. Then click OK to go back to its main interface.

 

Step 3. Choose a partition to scan the permanently deleted files. Here I choose partition G to scan. You can see the total files found and remaining time.
 
If you remember the file name of the deleted file, click Find and type the file name in the textbox. At last, click Find to search the lost file. It will save time for you.
 
Filter allows you to filter files by file name. For example, I want to recover my listening files, so I select *.mp3, *.wav, *.avi, *.mpg. Recover pictures, select *.jpg, *.gif, *.png, *.psd, *.tif. In addition, you can also filter files by size and by date as long as you remember the size and creation date of the deleted files.

 
Step 4. After the scanning, the deleted files are listed. Select the recovered files and click Save in the bottom right corner.

 

Step 5. Select a directory to save files. This freeware shows free space of every disk. Choose a suitable disk according to the size of your files. You’d better save the recovered files on another drive in case the deleted/lost data will be overwritten. Then click OK to save files.

 

When you get this pop-up window, the selected files have been saved successfully. In order to avoid data loss again, you can back up important files through MiniTool ShadowMaker Free Edition, a free backup software.
