Directory Snoop

Files on your hard disk drive are always exposed to various threats. Whether these get infected by malicious applications, accidentally removed from the system or become collateral victims of disk drive malfunctions, there is always hope. Directory Snoop promises to deliver a handful of features with which to recover lost data or permanently delete documents with no further use.

One of the first steps you need to take in order to be able to make use of provided tools is to run a scan process on a preferred disk drive. It takes several seconds until files are displayed either in a tree or list view, depending on your choice, along with full cluster details.

To make identification easier, a search engine is put at your disposal. However, it tends to be a little difficult to use and unless spending some time getting used to it or consulting the help manual, it can take more than manually locating the desired file.

With the initial scan results displayed, selecting an entry gives you access to its three core functions. The possibility to recover an item, if the case applies, purge deleted files to permanently get rid of any trace or completely wipe a file from your hard disk drive.

Either option you choose requires you to set several options, for example, the method used to remove files from your computer.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Directory Snoop is not the most friendly application of its kind, but gets the job done flawlessly. A little time and effort need to be put in getting to know it, the provided help manual coming in handy nearly every step of the way.
