Important Notes:

  1. If some files are not found by Deleted File Recovery, click the "Deep Scan" button to start the Deep Scan Recovery process. A deep scan takes more time but can find significantly more lost files.
  2. If the device you want to recover data from is encrypted with BitLocker Drive Encryption, you should use BitLocker Data Recovery.
  3. Do not save recovered files to the original partition where the lost data was stored. This prevents the data from being overwritten.
  4. You can export or save the scan results for later use or future recovery sessions.
