Recuva helps recover files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players.
The program has a friendly "wizard"-style set up for finding documents by type (pictures, documents etc.) or an advanced mode to search manually through all deleted files.

I had high hopes for this program, but alas, when I desperately needed it to work it failed me. The only program that managed to recover everything was EaseUS Data Recovery. None of the free stuff worked, or if it did recover anything it a) was corrupt, or b) couldn't recover the tree structure (after specifically ticking the option to do that). Not being able to recover the documents in their respective subdirectories also makes the program useless.

Be careful, Recuva can view all deleted and un deleted images even ones on a pass word protected USB drive. So if you think your sensitive images are safe with a pass word just run recuva and you will be able to view all your pass word protected images without using your pass word.

This program has saved my butt twice now. The first time was a massive cut and paste operation from a camera flash drive to a hard disk The cut worked, the paste failed and all the .jpg files looked to have been deleted. Recuva saved the day! It got 'em all back. Today a woman pulled the flash card out of the camera hot and whatever happened, it then looked like it wasn't formatted. Neither the computer nor Recuva could find anything. So, we did a quick format and then ran Recuva - viola! All the .jpgs on that flash card (two hours worth of work) were ALL recovered! Talk about a butt-save operation!! Awsome!
How can I recover my files on the secure USB flash drives, is there any quick solution in this case?
This f*ng programm sends everytime I start it, some information to the internet, regardless I turn the option "check for updates" or not!
Don't you Recuva, if you want to be your privacy respected.
Recuva is good for newly deleted files and if you cleared your flash memory from a flash drive or digital camera, but for more serious problems I have found two programs to do really well:
FinalData
R-Studio
@Nick : I think both - I would't proof it. ;)
BTW: Recuva is a really, really smart App - I can't find any with similair file recognition.
Is "Recuva v.1.53.2078" an online installer?
Upon download, it says it can install now?
I am very wary of online installers ..... and prefer not to use them.
