Recuva comes with an easy to use quick start wizard to help you in recovering your important files easily and quickly.Īnother interesting feature present in this free tool is the “ Secure Overwrite or Delete” which allows you to permanently erase a desired file from your hard disk which can’t be recovered in future. Recuva also comes with a built-in feature to recreate a word document from its temporary files if Microsoft Word program crashed while you were working on a document. Recuva also allows you to recover deleted emails from popular Desktop email clients such as Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, etc. It can also find deleted files even if you formatted the drive. Recuva can recover accidentally deleted files from your computer, Recycle Bin, memory cards, MP3 players, etc. “ Recuva” is a free file recovery utility developed by Piriform, the same company which develops the popular temporary file cleaning software “ CCleaner“.

If the deleted file is still present in Recycle Bin, you can restore the file easily but if you emptied the Recycle Bin or if you deleted the file using Shift+Delete key combination (which directly deletes the file without moving it to Recycle Bin), you are out of luck. But later we realize that the deleted file was an important one and we have to recover that file anyhow.

Sometimes when we don’t need a file or folder, we delete it. We regularly store data on our computer hard drive such as software setup files, songs, videos, wallpapers, important documents, etc.

UPDATE: Recuva version released to public.
