One unfortunate gesture, one click too many, one moment of absence, and now all the Data Recovery Services on your memory card has completely disappeared.
Vacation photos, work documents, pieces of music deleted suddenly, all at once… Fortunately, all is not lost, there are miraculous solutions that in principle allow you to find all your data.
A simple Google search reveals how the loss of digital Data Recovery Services generates a huge business. A multitude of sites and publishers indeed promise you mountains and wonders, sometimes for delirious sums.
There is a completely free solution that sets the standard when it comes to recovering lost data. Called Recuva, it was developed by the Piriform team, the publisher of the brilliant C-Cleaner.
You don’t need to be a computer pro to use Recuva , as it shines with its simplicity. It is notably possible to Twitter launch it from an external device (a USB key for example) without having to install it.
Launch the software and follow the wizard instructions. Depending on the type of files you have lost – emails, music, images, documents, videos, etc. – tick the appropriate box or “All files”.
