Hi. I don't understand I cannot see (and so recover) some files I just deleted from my trash. But the fact is, I understand how Recuva works (it recovers files which do not have been overwritten by other files) and so I can not understand why these kinds of files can not be recovered . WHYYYYYY!
 Thanks.

It may be that Windows renames files it deletes to the recycler. You should be looking for files called Dcnn.ext in XP and $Rxxxxxx.ext in Vista.

WHYYYYYY! Thanks.- Try system restore. Files in My Documents are exempt from restore point restorations, so they will not come back. - Try Handy Recovery. They may have a trial you can use, & if you cannot get it back with that, it probably cannot be gotten back - Check the file name. They do sometimes change upon deletion! |
