Bellzemos Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hello, I "low level formatted" (using this tool: https://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/) my external 500GB USB HDD. After that I run Recuva's deep scan and here's what was found (D drive is my ext. USB 500GB HDD): Is that any actual data that can be recovered or is it something else (what)? Thank you.

Moderators Augeas Posted January 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2020 They're all system files that would be expected when an NTFS volume is formatted. They are essential for Windows to access the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellzemos Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 So those files were not left from before or created after I "low level formatted" the drive but after that, when I initialised and formatted the drive (NTFS)? Therefore, it's not old data from the drive that is seen in Recuva pic in the first post, but new files that were created afterwards, with the formatting (NTFS)? Thank you.
