Every now and then you will delete a file by accident and normally by the time you release, it’s too late.
Luckily the team that brought you the amazing CCleaner have also released Recuva. This cool free program scans your hard driver and will display all the deleted files in a list. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses -pretty amazing!

I installed Recuva, deleted three files from my recycle bin and then immediately ran Recuva to undelete the files. No go. It didn’t find anything.
Then I did the same with Advanced File Recovery (http://www.advanced-file-recovery.com/)…And this program helped me to recover my deleted files.
