I recovered an excellent .txt file just deleted a day before. however i cannot read it as it contains the usual garbage. am i missign something ? I have tried several times, but each time i open it, it seems like as though its encrypted. i wasnt encrypted when deleted. please help.
i just had a similar problem: poor and unrecoverable files were recovered perfectly, while excellent files with no overwrites couldn't be seen. is this reverse world?
