Download Recuva v1.53.2096: Free Data Recovery Software for Windows

UPDATE: Recuva 1.53.2096 version released to public.

We regularly store data on our computer hard drive such as software setup files, songs, videos, wallpapers, important documents, etc. Sometimes when we don’t need a file or folder, we delete it. But later we realize that the deleted file was an important one and we have to recover that file anyhow. If the deleted file is still present in Recycle Bin, you can restore the file easily but if you emptied the Recycle Bin or if you deleted the file using Shift+Delete key combination (which directly deletes the file without moving it to Recycle Bin), you are out of luck. Windows doesn’t provide any built-in option to restore or recover permanently deleted files or folders.

That’s where 3rd party data recovery software come in handy. There are many data recovery tools available on Internet which can recover deleted files and restore them on your hard disk.

Comments

NOTE: Older comments have been removed to reduce database overhead.

  1. By mistake formatted entire drive but with recuva recovered more than 50 gb of data in 20 minutes
    The only problem is in some formats like video file were renamed as 001,002 etc…

  2. Could you tell me if there are ways to recover data from an external Hard Disk. It has suddenly started to ask for a format.

  3. I rolled back for previous version. Version 1.48 is still the best solution for me.
