Moderators Nergal Posted July 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2018 Sometimes recuva will be green because the file's location is not currently overwritten, but it may have been sometime in those 3 days. Also if you attempt to restore the file to the drive that it once resided on an overwrite might be occurring. Sadly, not every file that's green is going to be recovered in whole. This would hold true with Recuva and its competitors. I'm currently going through hundreds of my recovered mp3 files and finding many that are part of a song or two parts of different songs. The software I ended up using (can't remember if recuva or other) said they were recoverable. It's just magical luck (and a bit of mathematics) to get a file back. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Augeas Posted July 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2018 What does 'mistakenly overwritten' mean? Did you delete the file? What are you recovering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
