Anyone of you uses the Shift-Del so often that you will instinctively press it when deleting files, just like me? Don't know about you guys, but I have been so habitual with Shift-Del, that sometimes it caused me problems because I might still need the file, and it is gone beyond recovery (from recycle bin, that is).
This is where unerase/undelete tool like Recuva comes to the rescue!
Those of you who had used Norton Unerase would be familiar with unerase/undelete tools. One of the drawback those days is that when you unerase a file, you will have to provide the first character of the file name. That is a nightmare for people who have just deleted a whole folder of files.
Well, that is not the case now. Actually, I am not sure if it is advancement of the tool or because of file system change (FAT vs NTFS), as unerasing files is much easier. For example, using Recuva, you start off by specifying a drive or folder to scan. It will proceed to scan that destination and provide you with a list of files deleted, in full name. It will also provide the status of the file, whether it is recoverable or not.
Tools like these definitely comes handy for people like me who will continue to use Shift-Del on a regular basis.
