Recover your lost files
It happens from time to time - accidentally you delete some documents or files from your Desktop, but fortunately you're able to recover them from the Trash Bin. But opening the Trash Bin will not always solve your problems with deleted and lost files.
The scenario could be that you've accidentally deleted all the pictures from your last birthday or the pictures from the Christmas lunch. Normally a backup program will handle this and recover lost files, but if you haven't installed a backup program or the backup of your hard-drive is quite old, then good advice may seem expensive.
Fear not! Because we'll introduce and review an excellent freeware program, which will help you recover lost data, documents and files. The program is called Undelete Plus.
Undelete Plus
As mentioned above, Undelete Plus is a freeware program and you can download it here from HolyFile. The best thing about Undelete Plus is fact that Undelete Plus is able to find erased files on your hard-drive - that means files, which cannot be recovered by other programs. These files are deleted permanently from your file system, but not physically from your hard-drive. Undelete Plus uses this to its advantage and is able to recover the files again. However, time is an important factor and the longer a files or document has been deleted the harder it is for Undelete Plus to recover it. The space may already be taken up by a new file or program. But since Undelete Plus is free to use it cannot hurt to try.A guide to Undelete Plus
