Recovering a deleted file using the software
As an example, we will run you through the process to recover a deleted file from the recycle bin using this software. A more thorough tutorial can be found on the link.
Start by loading up the software:
To recover a lost file, the easiest way is to use the Wizard above. Just click on it in the software.
On the next page, click the type of file you want to recover.
On the Next Page, just select where you want the file to be recovered from. In our case, this would be the Recycle Bin.
The software will now scan your hard drive for deleted files. When the scanning finishes, just choose the ones you want. You can also click on a file to preview it, so you know what you are recovering.
Choose a location to place your recovered files, and voila, they are there!
More information
More information on the software can be found on the Wondershare website. You can buy the software for $49, or try a free version to see if it is worth your while. The free version only lets you recover up to 100MB though.
Verdict
Overall, the software offers a pretty convenient way to recover any lost files. The ability to download and try a free version is great too. Especially since most images or silly mistakes are often less than 100MB.
