Ok thanks for putting that to bed for me, now trying to recover from a spun drive the files were on a couple years ago, not holding out much hope they haven't been written on.

I deleted a load of videos and pictures from my SSD in NTFS format (only used for data not O/S), then I emptied the recycle bin. However I saw what I did and used this software straight away, no other files were added to the drive after the delete or altered. Recuva finds the files with ease, all in their folders and the exact same file sizes, but none of them will open. What am I doing wrong, must be something as not one file has recovered correctly, please help!
