Unable to recover deleted folders


HL Eng

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have just paid and downloaded Recuva for my Windows 10.

I accidentally deleted a few folder permanently, using shift+delete.  However, using both scan and deep scan I cannot find the folders nor the files.

Instead I was only able to recover 2 files in another unrelated folder.  Kindly advice.

You won't find any folders as Recuva does not recover folders explicitly. Deleted directories contain names of files that don't necessarily exist, and index array offsets that are clearly invalid.

I don't know why you can't find any files, I can't either. A scan of my disk reveals about 20 files from the documents folder, none of any use. Perhaps Win 10 behaves differntly from its predecessors.
