![]() ![]() Click search > set to deleted only > ready to copy all deleted files with a single click. ReclaiMe only needs 2 minutes to scan (!) to list all current AND deleted files. ![]() It also finds approximately 100 times more files in tested scenario. In contrast an undelete tool like this, also free, I wrote it many years ago scans the MFT for deleted files and restores file with the full path. Also files are not recovered with original file path using the Aiseesoft ‘undelete’ option. Many files that get deleted don’t go this route (programmatically deleted, SHIFT deleted, files too large for recycle bin etc.). So it appears this is not a full scan for deleted files and you’ll only be able to recover files that at some point were in the Recycle Bin. ![]() Path of all files found starts with c:\$recycle.bin\etc. I assume this is what the Recycle Bin option is supposed to do, find deleted files. Unformat type recovery (unformat, RAW file system etc.) it is not capable of. ![]() Verdict: not worth your time. For undelete type recovery it’s useless, there are free alternatives that are better, Recuva to name one. IOW, if a tool can detect the MFT entry it can only recover the clusters this entry points to. If files are restored in original state depends more on file contents not being overwritten and state of the file system than on the tool used. I only tested file detection and directory tree reconstruction. This may invalidate the license, a commonly used ‘trick’ with free give-aways. Indeed license is still valid/accepted but software prompts me to download an update. As Aiseesoft Data Recovery is free and it is file recovery software gave a short test drive. I paste my comments on the software after subjecting it to a short test, more or less in verbatim. So that was a nice opportunity to test the abilities of the software. Aiseesoft Data Recovery was spammed in, on offer was a free license. ![]()
