Review & Alternatives
"A new file recovery tool."
★ Winner of Best Recovery Tool in 2017 and 2014.
Overview
Recuva is a file recovery utility that is capable of recovering files that have been deleted from the Windows operating system, recycle bin, USB drive, MP3 player, or even a digital camera storage card. This software is extremely useful for reversing data loss caused by computer crashes and other hardware/software malfunctions.
Installation
With an extremely small file size of only about 2.5 MB, Recuva downloads and installs quickly and easily with the help of a wizard-style setup guide. During the installation you may be asked to install third-party software or toolbars, however the installation of these products is not necessary to complete the setup.
Interface
The Recuva user interface is so basic it is almost self-explanatory. In the top left corner you can choose which drive you'd like to scan for lost data, and in the top right corner you can specify which type of files you'd like to scan for (i.e. – pictures, documents, videos, audio files etc.). After a scan has been successfully performed, the main window will be filled with files that are capable of being recovered. At that point you can click the check box in the top left corner to select all of the recoverable files, or you can check the files individually, and then click the 'Recover' button in the bottom right corner. Overall, the interface provides easy access to a plethora of advanced features, yet is simplistic enough to be comfortable for even the most novice user.
