Deleted your files accidentally? OS Crash? Hard drive damages? You’re definitely not alone in facing such problems. This is why tools like MiniTool Power Data Recovery Software Free exist.
Here’s how you can recover deleted photos, important files and documents with free data recovery software easily.
What is the Rationale Behind Recovering ‘Deleted’ Files?
Have you ever wondered why deleting files seem to happen in a blaze?
That’s because whenever a user hits “Empty the recycle bin”, the deleted files continue to remain on your hard disk.
Only the reference to the file on the hard drive has been removed. This makes the deleted files invisible to the computer and they will remain until another file or part of another file replaces them in the same storage location.
Because the files still exist on your hard drive, MiniTool Power Data Recovery Software Free can do the job for you and recover those mistakenly deleted files.
It programmatically rebuilds the file headers and allows your PC to view the file again.
Note: As mentioned earlier, deleted files will truly be deleted if they have been overwritten by something else, or securely erased from the recycle bin. Minitool Power Data Recovery Software Free will not work in that case.
Superior File Preview Before Recovery – Up to 70 File Types
Understandably, you may not wish to recover every single file in your device and most data recovery software do not have the function to determine if that is a particular file you want to restore.
MiniTool Power Data Recovery Software, on the other hand, makes it possible for you to preview files of up to 70 different file types before restoring them. This removes the hassle of restoring unwanted files, and then deleting them (yet again!).
How to Recover or Repair in 3 Steps – Windows 10
If your file unfortunately is corrupted or unreadable after recovery, this software also enables you to repair them in 3 steps.
Recovering Lost/Deleted Files on Windows 10
There are many data recovery tools for Windows in the market, but MiniTool Power Data Recovery seems to do the job in a simple and intuitive way.
In just 3 steps, the software delivers one of the fastest scan speeds with a more than decent recovery rate. It also recovers its original information and properties.
Step 1: Launch MiniTool Power Data Recovery Software Free. If you are recovering deleted files from a portable drive such as a USB stick or SD card, make sure it is connected beforehand.
Step 2: Click the device type you would like to recover which will be located in the left pane of the software. The device types include ‘This PC’, ‘Removable Disk Drive’, ‘Hard Disk Drive’ & ‘CD/DVD Drive’. Doing so will then allow you to select the target drive/device in the right window. Press Scan.
Step 3: Once the scan has finished, you may preview, verify and check the files that you would like to recover by pressing the Save button to store the recovered files.
Files corrupted after the recovery? Use repair tools like Stellar File Repair Toolkit or Windows very own SFC to fix them in a jiffy!
