File Recovery Apps and Alternatives

12 applications in this hubLast updated: Apr 14th 2024, 04:56 GMT

When users are in a hurry to complete their tasks, they might accidentally delete some important documents. Alternatively, a virus infection might also have the same consequence and might leave people without important files that need to be recovered.

File recovery applications are created for this precise purpose, that of helping users retrieve their files. Some of these tools can only process a specific type of files, such as pictures, videos, music or Office documents.

There are also some complex apps that can restore files even if the host partition has been formatted, but the recovery process in this case typically takes a long time to complete.

Another thing worth mentioning about file recovery software is that all these utilities need to be installed on and run from a different drive than the one that needs to be analyzed.
Users may also want to know that some of these recovery applications allow them to preview scanned files so that they only recover relevant data.
