Kickass Undelete

For most users, it's an absolute nightmare to discover that you've lost a file, whether it's disappeared from your hard drive or you've accidentally deleted it from the recycling bin. When that happens, you need to know that, luckily, there is an option available to help you recover them.

If you run a recovery scan immediately after deleting the files, you'll probably be able to get them back. Why? When a file is deleted, its data is not really erased. Actually, the hard drive marks the space it took up as a space that is available to be overwritten. So, as long as that doesn't happen, you can bring it back.

Kickass Undelete is a tool designed to recover all of those files that you've lost. It does this in the easiest way possible: just run the program, and hit the 'Scan' button on the main menu to scan your whole hard drive or external drive.

Once that's finished - it only takes a few seconds -, Kickass Undelete will display all of the files that it's able to save. One good thing about this program is that if you're looking for a specific file, you can filter the results by the filename or extension, and therefore find it much more quickly.
