Have you accidentally deleted important document files from your computer, pen drive or memory card? You can actually restore those permanently deleted files. The task is quite complex but Recuva, a free file recovery program lets you restore those files very easily.
Windows offers a powerful tool, Recycle Bin to protect yourself from losing accidentally deleted files by making them available at Recycle Bin. Unfortunately, you can’t restore the files deleted from external pen drives, Flash drives, etc. Even, if you are quite smart and prefers to use Shift+Delete instead of Delete to trash a file, which permanently removes the file from PC then also you can’t restore it from Recycle Bin.
