not so sure where to post this, but do you guys know where i can find free programs that find permanently deleted files, cause i accidentally deleted some of my brothers things, and then emptied the recycle bin, is there any way to recover these things please help

Hi, theres a program from the makers of Ccleaner called Recuva available from here > Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File Recovery - Home its free and it should help you out

D

it works but the media files can't play

From the recuva website> Testing the files
Recuva will attempt to restore your deleted files, but it cannot analyze the contents of the file after it has recovered it and tell you if the recovery was 100% successful.

The only way to test if the file has been recovered successfully is by opening it with the originating applications – e.g. does it open properly in Word? If it fails to open in the originating application, then the recovery has almost certainly failed.


Looks like it hasnt worked for your media files, i`ll see if i can find another program

EDIT: PC World - Free Hard Disk Utilities: Recover Deleted Files and Lost Data some more to try but results cant be guaranteed
