FileRestorePlus

Accidents happen even to the best of us, so instead of crying over some files you've deleted by mistake or lost due to a drive failure, you could try to recover them. FileRestorePlus makes this a simple task, even for novice users. It works fast, and it is capable of identifying various file types. You can use it on your main hard drive or on removable memory devices, like USB flash drives or SD cards, to salvage the photos or documents you or somebody else deleted.

The software is free to try, but with some restrictions. It is compatible with all popular Windows versions, and it doesn't require any special tools or services, so you can start using it right away. The setup package is relatively small, and it shouldn't take more than a minute to install its components, even on older machines.

You can start scanning for deleted files right away. All you have to do is select a drive, on the left side of the application's compact user interface, and hit the "Start Scan" button. The software won't keep you waiting for too long when it scans for deleted data. What's more, the scanning process may take as little as a second if you target a low-capacity removable drive.

When the scanning process is complete, the results will appear on the left side of the interface, along with various details. At this point, you can just select one or more files, preview them, and click a button to save them in a folder of your choice. To make them easier to spot, the found files are categorized in separate folders by type, but you can also explore their original folders.

Besides starting regular scans, you can also bring up a wizard, to set up a more precise scan if you want to recover something in particular. You can also enable a smart scanning feature, to make the application avoid certain file categories, so you can recover your precious photos, documents or application files in no time.

It doesn't take anything more than a few simple clicks to recover the photos and documents you've deleted when using FileRestorePlus.
