Flash drives and sd memory cards are capacious, cheap and convenient devices for storing information. The flash drive may contain data of particular importance: confidential information, logins and passwords to access wallets, bank accounts. Also USB Flash drive is used as a key for access and authorization to operating systems, services, programs.

As a result of a simple mistake (or due to banal inattention), it is easy to lose valuable information on a flash drive. Most often, information loss occurs due to a corrupted file structure. In some situations, deletion is indeed irreversible, but in other cases, flash drive recovery is possible. What we will try to do on our own - programmatically.

This review presents programs that will help you recover deleted files from a flash drive. Each application has strengths and weak, we will definitely list them.

How the programs were tested

To test the programs, a 7.29 GB usb flash drive with the FAT32 file system was taken. Files copied to it:

We cleared the flash drive of files the way it would look in reality. For this we:

  1. deleted files on the flash drive bypassing the trash (Shift + Del)
  2. Performed a quick format (with the Clear Table of Contents option).
  3. a 1.1 GB video file was recorded over the deleted information.

Choosing the best program to recover deleted files

Reconstructor applications are good because they skip the service information on the flash drive and access the memory directly. As a rule, if not all, then at least some of the data that will be suitable for further work can be retrieved from the device’s memory. As a result of manipulations using special programs, we will recover the data contained on the flash drive. The important thing is that the flash drive will work absolutely correctly after the data resuscitation procedure.

There are countless programs for recovering files on a flash drive. Many of them are universal: they work with hard drives, system partitions, suitable for recovering specific file formats

I suggest you familiarize yourself with programs that work with mobile devices storage - usb flash and sd memory cards.

Unformat - a program for recovering data from a flash drive with many settings

File recovery in Unformat

Scanning deleted partitions on a flash drive took about 20 minutes. Further scanning of the partition after opening the partition is about the same time. Saving files also takes a few minutes.

The Unformat program detects deleted partitions, type file system, the quality of the results, the first and last sector of the section. All information about the process can be tracked through the log.

Files sorted by file type are available in the files detected by signatures section. In this case, the file types may not match the extensions and they must be changed manually.

As a result, the Unformat program found all the photos in jpg format. After formatting and overwriting, all data was preserved, including exif information. But the file names have been removed. Video and audio files could not be found in Unformat.

In this video, I show how to recover information from a flash drive using the basic Unformat settings:

CardRecovery is a specialized program for recovering files from a flash drive.

The CardRecovery program organically fits into the review, since the list of supported devices includes USB flash drives and portable drives. It will help to recover files in such deletion scenarios as accidental formatting, damage to the file system of the flash drive and memory card damage.

In fact, this product has not been updated for a long time, latest version- 6.10 - came out a few years ago. However, CardRecovery works without issue on Windows 10.

Recovery of other information from a USB flash drive (archives, documents), unfortunately, is not available. For this reason, the CardRecovery utility will be more useful to owners of photo and video cameras who have lost information on a memory card or flash drive.

The cost of the program is low, a license for 1 user costs $39.95 USD.

File recovery in CardRecovery

To recover data on a flash drive, we performed the following steps:

  1. We chose the Removable Devices list, as a storage device, usb flash.
  2. Specified file types for scanning on a flash drive. CardRecovery has limits on file extensions, mainly multimedia file types - photo, audio and video.

Scan results are displayed as “file name - properties”. Exif information can be easily extracted from photographs. At one of the steps (Step 3) you can see the preview. In this regard, CardRecovery is perhaps the most convenient program.

For video preview is not available: you can see it only after purchasing the full version.

CardRecovery recovered all the images on the flash drive, just like Unformat. Many media files were restored in a damaged form with no chance of recovery (apparently, this is information that was contained on a flash drive for a very long time and was overwritten many times).

PhotoRec - recover photos from a flash drive

File Recovery in PhotoRec

PhotoRec saves the result to the specified folder as it is restored.

Scanning took about 10 minutes: which is quite fast, given that the results are identical to Unformat. The program restored not only photos, but also videos, and not only what was deleted from the flash drive after formatting, but also files recorded and deleted before the test. Apparently, this place on the flash drive was not overwritten, so the clips of 1 GB each were restored almost without damage.

Of the shortcomings - PhotoRec does not have a save option. All files are stored in a bunch in the specified folder, preview is not available. Also, information is not available from where the files were deleted.

Recuva program - free data recovery from a flash drive

Recuva is a universal program, you can use it to recover from usb flash drives, sd cards, hdd and ssd. Its toolkit is free, and you don't have to buy a license to bypass the limits, as with other recovery programs. When restoring a flash drive, at the last stage, it does not show a window demanding to pay for the full version.

Recovery from a USB flash drive in Recuva

If the flash drive is in very poor condition, you can create an image, enable signature search. Depending on the degree of damage, is displayed color coding files. Previews are available for media files.

How to recover information on a flash drive in Recuva

  1. Having connected the flash drive, we opened the Recuva Wizard, selected the file types and media (usb flash drive).
  2. We have also activated the Deep Scan option so as not to miss corrupted and overwritten files.

In general, the recovery took about 20 minutes. If the USB flash drive is over 64 GB, get ready for the scan to take even longer. However, Recuva is faster than other programs like Unformat.

Conveniently, the Recuva Wizard has a preview, which is especially useful when working with photos if you only need specific files.

In general, everything is done in a few clicks, but you will have to pay for this in that there is no way to select a partition for recovery and there is no sorting by signatures.

File Scavenger - a program for recovering files on a flash drive

The list of problems solved with File Scavenger is impressive:

  • Restoring files deleted from a usb flash drive
  • Data recovery after accidentally formatting a flash drive
  • Fixing a corrupted flash drive
  • Flash drive not showing up in Disk Management
  • Flash drive reset to factory settings

Files can be recovered on hard drives, memory cards, RAID arrays, etc. Recovers data on most file systems (including NTFS, FAT 32/16/12, exFAT, ReFS) and virtual disks(VMFS, VMDK, VHD and VHDX).

The program works without installation (the corresponding option can be selected when starting File Scavenger).

File Scavenger is regularly updated, the developer's website is available current version programs for Windows 10 and Server 2012, in 64- and 32-bit editions.

Please note that in demo mode File Scavenger allows you to test the functionality; Saving recovered files without purchasing a license is not possible. File Scavenger Standard Edition is $57.00, Professional Edition is $195.

Restoring files in File Scavenger

To recover files from a flash drive, you need:

  1. Select a USB flash drive from the list of devices,
  2. Specify the scanning mode quick (fast) or long (long)
  3. Press the Scan button.
  4. At the end of the scan, a table with the data found on the flash drive will be displayed.
  5. For each file, the status (probability of information recovery), modification date, size and other information useful when recovering from a USB flash drive are indicated.

Also, File Scavenger displays the section, the folder where the files were deleted. The Status column does not always display real information. Some of the files that Recuva has identified as recoverable are not listed here.

The program has very few scan settings, the interface is rather inconvenient, although simple. Files can be displayed in the form of a file tree, plus a preview is available. You can select all files or only specified types (files are sorted by signatures) and through the Save to tab.

Verdict. Programs for recovering usb flash drives - which is better?

The results showed that the programs participating in the review showed approximately the same results. In fact, the probability of recovering data on a flash drive mostly depends on what actions were taken with the usb drive after the data was deleted.

So the main difference between the programs is the cost of the license and the convenience of the interface.

Answers to questions from readers

I have auto call recording turned on. When yesterday I deleted the records selectively, then at some point I clicked "delete all". And I don’t need everything, there are records that I need. What to do? How to restore them?

Answer. Any of the above file recovery programs (Recuva, Recover My Files, CardRecovery and other utilities) allow you to recover audio recordings, say, on a flash drive. Data can be written and not on a USB flash drive, it does not matter. Simply specify the source to scan for deleted files, then view the results found and select the files that are most similar to audio recordings (you can find out by the file extension) to return.

All the files (photos, music, etc.) suddenly got on the flash card, but the folders that I created remained. There was no rewriting, there were no formatting actions. Very strange situation, what could it be? I would like to believe that data recovery from a flash drive is still possible ...

Answer. All the programs listed here (CardRecovery, PhotoRec, Recover My Files and Recuva) are equally effective in recovering data from a flash drive. Read the review and choose the utility that will meet your criteria.

Directly on how to recover information from a flash drive, you can find out by selecting desired section on our website in the main menu. Video tutorials are available for some applications.

I deleted information from the flash drive ( rar archive archived word files, pdf and dwg) and completely overwritten the rar archive with pdf files. Is it possible to restore previous information on a flash drive?

Answer. If before overwriting on the flash drive there was free place, there is a chance to recover the information. In fact, they are always there, but if there was no space and you deleted files for this very reason, the probability decreases. Any program for recovering deleted files from a USB flash drive will help you, for example, Undelete 360, Recuva or Unformat.

Despite the development cloud technologies, allowing you to save your files to remote server and have access to them from any device, flash drives do not lose their popularity. Transferring files that are large enough in size between two computers, especially those located nearby, is much more convenient in this way.

Imagine a situation when, having connected a USB flash drive, you discover that you have deleted some materials you need from it. What to do in this case and how to recover data? You can solve the problem with the help of special programs.

On the Internet, you can find quite a lot of programs whose main task is to recover deleted documents and photos from external media. They can also be restored after accidental formatting. There are three different ways to recover erased data quickly and without loss.

Method 1: Unformat

The selected program helps in recovering almost any data from all types of media. You can use it for both flash drives and memory cards and hard drives. It is best to download Unformat on the official website, especially since everything is free there.

After that, follow these simple steps:


Method 2: CardRecovery

This program is designed to restore, first of all, photo and video materials. Download it exclusively from the official site, because all other links can lead to malicious pages.

Accidental deletion of information recorded on a USB flash drive is a fairly common problem, but recovering them is very easy if you have the Internet and a small set of knowledge that will help solve such a problem. But, people who have poor computer skills panic and destroy their nervous system, quickly trying to print or restore information manually by creating lost files. To date, there are a number software designed specifically to solve this problem.

Action algorithm.

Each user must remember the following sequence of actions:

  1. Immediately after the discovery of data loss, it is necessary to restrict access to the flash drive, since each newly placed file on it will activate the overwriting of already existing information and soon the remnants of information related to the files you are looking for, hidden from your view, will be lost forever. It is not forbidden to simply connect a USB flash drive and carry out various actions of an analytical or recovery nature with it, and this will not affect the effectiveness of further actions in any way. This point is very important, and even if further actions difficult for you, then compliance with the initial condition will ensure the effectiveness of the repair with the help of a professional.

In the case of correct performance of all actions and the validity of our assumption about the tricks of viruses, those that were allegedly lost may appear in the list of files. Externally hidden files and folders are represented by translucent icons. Such a file should be immediately transferred to the computer so as not to lose it completely, and the flash drive should be checked with any antivirus software, for example, “Dr. Web Cureit, which is freely available on the official website of the developer.

  1. In the event that the files were not found using the method from point 2, then you should turn to special software for recovering deleted files. The essence of his work, if you do not go into technical details, is to raise layers of information from hidden clusters disk space. Necessary information in such cases it can be found in full, partially or not found at all. The main thing is not to despair after detection and act in cold blood. Consider further the most popular software called Recuva.

File recovery software (Recuva)

You can download and install the program from the official website, since it is located in open access. The installation process is very simple and should not be difficult. For those who like to be smart, you should immediately make a reservation - in no case should you download and install the program on a USB flash drive with lost files, since this will not increase the recognition efficiency in any way, but will lead to data overwriting. The further algorithm is extremely simple:

  1. Run the program and click "Next".
  2. In the list that appears, select a specific type of files to search or check the "Other" parameter to search for all previously deleted files. Click "Next".
  3. The next point indicates that Recuva can help with the recovery of lost data anywhere on the computer, not just on removable media. In order to determine the search location, you must click "Browse ..." and select the required disk / folder (in our case, a flash drive). Click "Next".
  4. In the next menu, the user only needs to confirm the start of the process, as well as when checking the box “Enable in-depth analysis”. This option increases the efficiency of the process, it can even get overwritten files from the bins. That's just the performance of the latter is a big question.
  5. The further search process may take a certain time, which will directly depend on whether the in-depth search option was selected and what size the information carrier under investigation has.
  6. After the search is completed, the user will see a list of files that were found during the search. Understanding this list is extremely easy, since fully restored files have a green circle indicator next to the name.

If this indicator turns yellow, then the file is recovered, only partially, and may not function. In such a case, there is a number of special software with which the user has a chance to restore working condition. You can read more about such software on the Internet and other reviews are dedicated to it.

The red indicator indicates the complete loss of the file, and apart from the name, nothing else can be seen, or what is seen will be a complete abracadabra of characters that are in no way connected with the information previously presented in the document.

The essence of this list is that the user can select the files he needs and click "Restore". When pressed, you will be prompted to select a location where the data will be saved. It is very important that given repository located anywhere on a computer or laptop, but in no case on a flash drive.

This article describes the instructions for the actions that should be performed by each user who is faced with the loss of information on a removable storage medium or directly on a computer. In addition to the described Recuva program, there are many similar software. Most species differ in their methods of searching for information, so it would be very preferable not to stop searching after a failed attempt using one program. Read more about other programs for recovering deleted data on the Internet.

Good afternoon friends. How to recover deleted files With Windows computer(flash drives)? When we accidentally delete files from a computer (flash drive), especially documents and personal photos, it is very disappointing and for many people the loss of the desired file looks like a real tragedy. Now we will briefly review the list of file recovery programs that I talked about in other articles, and make a small comparison between them.

What is the most common way information is lost from a PC?

  1. Information is lost after the Recycle Bin is completely emptied;
  2. Information is lost due to formatting;
  3. Or, it is simply erased from the hard drive (flash drive), often due to the fault of the virus.

Is it possible to recover deleted files from a computer

More often than not, yes. I have already touched on this topic. When erasing files, in the file table, the cells in which they were, the system assigns the character "0". Zero means that the cluster in which part of the file was located (or the entire file) is free, and it can be used to write other data.

Therefore, the file is hidden from us. We don't see it, it's like it doesn't exist, but it can be restored. If the system wrote another one in its place, or if the file is damaged, in this case, unfortunately, these files cannot be restored.

What is the probability that the file can no longer be restored?

  1. Time plays one of the decisive roles here. If we deleted the file a long time ago, then the chance that we can restore it becomes less.
  2. If we uninstalled the file bypassing the trash. For example, through Total program Commander, or if we selected the file and pressed Shift + Del. In other words, we given file formatted.
  3. The recovery depends on the file system of the disk we are going to recover. FAT, NTFS, HFS, EXT3 and more.
  4. What device was it on desired file: - flash card, HDD disk, SSD drive, laser disc, floppy disk (practically not used).
  5. What is the type of file that was deleted? I mean: - picture, video, document. If desired, it is possible to partially restore them. Other files, if they lose at least one small element, cannot be restored. These files are system files. If we inadvertently delete a small fragment of such a file, a "Black/Blue" Screen of Death may occur. Or, the computer just won't start! In this case, you need to restore the system from a disk or backup.

But, if the circumstances are successful, then you can completely restore the whole disk. For example, I had such a situation when I was recovering data on a disk using the R-Studio program.

How to recover deleted files from recycle bin

When a person deletes a file by pressing the "Delete" command, or by pressing the Del key, this file goes into the trash. Files are stored in the basket for a month (30 days), and if the person does not return them, they will be deleted automatically.

But, it often happens that a person realizes that he has deleted the file he needs. In this case, go to the trash, select the desired file, right-click on it, and select the "Restore" command from the drop-down menu.

The file will be restored from the trash to where it was before. But what if we have already emptied the trash? For this case, we will consider a list of file recovery programs.

How to recover files after formatting

Whether we restore the file after this, or not, depends on how we formatted the disk. I mean quick format or full format?

That is, the bottom line is whether there is a checkmark over the “Quick Cleanup” command or not. If it is worth it, recovering the information will not be difficult.

If there is no check mark in this place, then Windows implies full formatting. At the same time, it will be either very difficult or impossible to recover the information. The following programs will help restore information

Recuva file recovery software


One of the most popular and simple programs recovering deleted files. It has a user-friendly design and recovering files using it is very simple. In its database of languages, there is Russian, which already makes recovery much easier, because. this is a delicate matter, and requires precise translation. One wrong step and your file is permanently deleted.

This program does not require any limits or money. There is free version. Let's take a look at its features.

  1. The program, as mentioned above, is quite easy to manage. A beginner can easily handle it. It is for them that the program has a recovery wizard. The software allows you to specify the type of the required file. For example, audio files.
  2. It is possible to select a place to search. You can also set other information to facilitate recovery.
  3. The files that this software finds are marked with a special color, showing the likelihood of information recovery. High, medium, low.
  4. degree of scanning. There is a deep scan and a regular one. When you choose deep, the chance of finding the right file is greatly increased. But, along with this, the search time also increases.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard recover complex files

This program is often used when it is quite difficult to recover files, and other programs do a poor job of doing their job. But, despite this, it has a fairly simple interface, which a beginner can easily handle. There is a Russian language, deep, and simple scanning. It has a "Recovery Wizard" feature.

  • The program has a feature such as "Protected basket". Its main difference from a regular recycle bin is the ability to recover data even after emptying the recycle bin.
  • Simplicity of design. Recovery Wizard adapts well to file and operating system. The recovery wizard makes working with this software convenient and enjoyable.
  • Ability to solve complex problems. The software has the ability to restore programs that were deleted without the participation of the trash (using Shift + Delete). Also, it is possible to recover formatted files and Raw files.

Hetman Photo Recovery software for image recovery

Has quite user-friendly interface and built-in Russian language. Created specifically for recovering deleted pictures. There is a variant of this program Hetman Partition Recovery, which restores the rest of the information besides the photo.

The software easily restores images from a memory card or hard drive. Photo Recovery has the ability to recover photos after accidental formatting, malware attacks, and interestingly, even after reinstalling Windows, you have the ability to recover information.

This program copes with cases when similar programs have not coped with their task. The application of the program is quite simple. Not even able to figure out the design experienced user. The utility finds all data that can be recovered. The user only needs to choose which files are worth restoring and which are not.

Disk Drill is a great way to recover deleted information


Although it is most often used for Windows, the utility was originally intended for Mac OS X. But, later, versions created specifically for Windows appeared. The utility can support the following formats NTFS, EXT3, EXT4, FAT16, FAT32, HFS.

Disk Drill is a rather young software, but this does not mean that it works worse than others, rather the opposite. The program is in English, but the interface is quite clear. You will have to translate and remember the main commands, and you can scan.

Disk Drill does an excellent job of recovering most of the information, such as: audio, video, pictures, archives, documents. There are both Demo and Pro versions. The free version has a limit of 100 MB. From here, in order to restore partitions of disks and flash drives completely, you will have to purchase a paid option.

Disk Drill features

  • When starting the program, it is possible to pause and continue scanning at a convenient time for you.
  • It is possible to choose the type of information that we are going to recover. That is, the program has its own filtering by file type.
  • Part of the disk partitions can be blocked at the time of the DiskDrill scan. Therefore, you will, as it were, insure against overwriting uninstalled files.

R-Studio 8.8 Deleted File Recovery Software

Of the listed programs that restore information, this program I like it more than others. She has the greatest potential. There is a thorough check (which I advise you to include). Pretty nice design, in Russian. The program was created for the pros, although a beginner can easily cope with it.

You need to select the disk or its partition that you want to restore and start scanning. It will take some time, but R-Studio will recover from the disk even the data that you deleted and forgot about a long time ago. The program has the ability to recover data structured.

That is, if for some reason you erased information from the entire disk, the program will restore the entire structure on the disk as it was before. In other words, all folders, subfolders within them, and all files within those folders.

You run a detailed scan by scanning and seeing your drive as it was before formatting. But, all data found from this disk must be transferred to another. Otherwise, the program may overwrite the same file several times. After you transfer the found information to another disk, it is advisable for you to format the disk you are looking for, and re-record all the data on it that was on the disk before the information was deleted.

So, recently, this program helped me recover the entire disk, with all folders and subfolders, when I accidentally knocked down its name and the computer stopped detecting it. As I said, R-Studio is the most the best program recovery with which I had a chance to work.

How to recover deleted files from flash drive

All these programs are suitable for recovering files from a flash card. It all depends on what kind of data was on your flash drive. If photo, then Photo Recovery. If the file is of a certain format, for example, documents, or videos, then Recuva or Disk Drill. In general, if you need high-quality data recovery from your flash drive, I advise you to read not only brief information about the programs, but follow the links "More" and study the information about the programs in more detail.

Restoring files from a backup

It is possible to restore a deleted file from a system backup. This case is only suitable if the remote file was located on system drive C (for example, in "Documents", "Downloads", "Images"). In this case, it is enough to roll back the system using the program that created this backup. For example, using "Aomei".

Conclusion:— How to recover deleted files from a Windows computer (flash drive)? Each of the presented programs is good in its own way. Study carefully on each of them, and choose for your specific case. For example, as I already mentioned, Photo Recovery is designed to recover photos. R-Studio performs a very thorough folder recovery, with the entire structure. It is more suitable for PC, although it can easily restore flash cards. The choice is yours! Good luck!

Today, flash drives are used by millions of people. Indeed, on such a storage medium, you can store any files - movies, photos, documents, music, and more. etc. In addition, flash drives are installed in a variety of devices - tablets, cameras, smartphones (both on Android and Windows), etc., expanding the memory capacity of such gadgets. Naturally, periodically the user erases unnecessary information from the card. This sometimes accidentally deletes important information. What to do in such a situation? Can they somehow recover deleted files from a flash drive? Let's look into this.

So, files have disappeared from the flash drive of the phone, camera or any other device. Or you yourself deleted them, but now you realized that in vain and you need them. What to do? Remember, the first thing you need to do is:

  1. Do not write anything else to the flash drive. This will prevent you from recovering deleted files from the memory card.
  2. Do not create new folders. Otherwise, without losing any data, the information cannot be returned.
  3. Don't delete anything else.

The less manipulations with the flash drive, the easier it is to recover data later. How to explain it? In fact, when you delete a file from a memory card, it is not immediately deleted. Here is such a pun. Only the record about him is deleted. But for the system, this means one thing - in the future, when the user starts recording new files, they can be placed in the place where the old and deleted ones were stored. By the way, that's why copying or moving the same movie takes tens of seconds, or even a couple of minutes, while its deletion is carried out instantly.

So now you know where the data is deleted from the flash drive. They are simply overwritten. Well, when deleting in the file table, the place is simply marked as free.

In addition, before you start recovering deleted files from a USB flash drive, we recommend that you check it with antivirus software. Any malicious program can easily "hide" information from the user. It does not hurt to see the hidden files of the memory card. For this:

For reference! Some viruses delete files from a flash drive so that they can no longer be restored. The point is that such malware they also overwrite files, and not just erase the information on the media.

When can deleted files be recovered and when not?

With what needs to be done first, and what cannot be done in any case, we figured it out. Now let's talk about what are the chances of successfully recovering files deleted from a memory card.

To be honest, they are small. It is much easier and more efficient to recover data from stationary drives - that is, hard drives of PCs and laptops. From flash drives (be it an SD card or a USB drive) is more difficult. The fact is that deleted files on them are often overwritten. And rewriting, in fact, puts an end to all attempts to return information.

So the chances of recovery are minimal if:

  • The flash drive itself is defective. For example, it does not read different devices or recognized as unknown device. The failure of the carrier can also be expressed in the fact that instead of a GB of memory, the system sees only a few KB. In any case, restore from a faulty flash drive remote folder or just one small file is almost impossible.
  • The files were deleted using so-called "shredder programs". The most popular of them is File Shredder.
  • The flash drive has been overwritten. Or it has undergone low-level formatting. After all, with this procedure, all data is destroyed. Even the partition table is deleted.

At the same time, you can recover deleted files from a flash drive (in whole or in part) if:

  • The flash drive was formatted using the OS.
  • The user manually deleted the data.
  • Information became inaccessible after a virus attack (but not all, because some Trojans are able to overwrite files).
  • Data disappeared after trying to partition the flash drive.
  • The file system of the drive has failed (the flash drive is not recognized by the device or is recognized, but it is impossible to write something to it).

What programs are best for recovering data from flash drives?

There are the most different programs to recover files deleted from flash drives. And both free and paid. We had a chance to try a dozen of these utilities. All have pluses and minuses. But, in our opinion, the most effective and convenient are:

Let's see how to use some of these utilities.

You can download the program here http://dmde.ru/download.html. And there are versions for different OS. So choose your installer carefully before downloading. Once you download the archive, open it and run DMDE. You don't need to install anything. What to do next?


The only caveat is that the free version of the program does not allow you to restore an entire folder. An error will pop up. Therefore, you will either have to buy a program, or restore everything one file at a time.

Enough popular program file recovery. Its developers are the authors of other well-known software that we often use. For example, CCleaner, Speccy, etc. Recuva is no more difficult to manage than these utilities. In addition, it is completely Russified.

At the same time, Recuva allows you to easily and quickly recover files from any flash drives (including micro SD) and hard drives. Below is a short guide that will tell you how to use the program:


Useful information

  • If with the help of some program it does not work, then do not despair. Try some other utility.
  • Do not forget that it is easier to prevent a problem than to spend time and effort on solving it. Therefore, make a backup copy of data from a flash drive.
  • By the way, you can also recover files from memory cards that were deleted a year, two or even several years ago. Time does not play a role. The main thing is the very fact of rewriting. If no new data was written "on top" of the old ones, then you can try to return them. And, most likely, successfully.
