How to undelete files in Windows 7 using Recuva

ComTech: IT Support Stirling

I have been updating my software repository recently so decided to take a look at what was available on the market to recover deleted fields. During my research I came across Recuva.

Recuva is distributed as freeware (with no support) which can be downloaded off their website.  It works on all versions of Windows and you can purchase the Professional or Business Editions if you require the piece of mind of technical support should you need it. Below I will show you how to use it.

When you start the program you should get the wizard as shown below.


If you click next you will be asked what sort of files you are trying to recover.

Choose your file type and then click next.  On the following page you will be asked for the file location (if known).

Click next. That is all the information that is required right now for Recuva to recover your files.

Once Recuva has finished its scan it will present you with a list of all the files that can be recovered (shown below).  A word here about the colour next to the files.  The colour indicates the chances of recovering the file.  For example green =  excellent, amber = acceptable and red = unlikely.

Choose the file you want to recover and then click on Recover.  Hopefully you should be able to recover your files. Good luck!!
