Disk Drill

If you accidentally deleted some files, you need a data recovery tool that can help you quickly recover your lost or deleted files, and this software starts searching for them right away. With this recovery application, you can restore files even after the Recycle Bin has been emptied, because when Windows removes files, in most cases they are still somewhere on your hard drive. However, you can no longer see their names. Until they are overwritten with new data, you have good chances of recovering them, and the program's protection tools help you avoid data loss in the future. CleverFiles Disk Drill is a proven data recovery software that started on Mac OS X and is also available for Windows.

Features:

• Speed and efficiency: The free version lets you scan a drive and recover up to 100 MB of data to test the program, while Disk Drill PRO removes this limit and is sold as a paid licence.
• It allows recovery from almost any storage device. This means that you can recover files not only from the internal disk of a Windows computer but also from external USB drives, memory cards and other storage devices.
• Data Protection: To have more security, Disk Drill offers Recovery Vault, which keeps information about protected files so they can be restored quickly if you accidentally delete them.
• Recovery of lost and deleted partitions
• Byte-to-byte backup of a drive or partition to an image file, so data can be recovered from the copy
• Support for FAT16/FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, ReFS, HFS+, APFS, EXT2/3/4 and BTRFS file systems, plus S.M.A.R.T. disk monitoring.

Disk Drill can recover deleted files even after the Recycle Bin has been emptied and adds free tools such as Recovery Vault to protect your data.

Disk Drill makes file recovery accessible even to beginners, and its speed can be incredible: in many cases a scan lists recently deleted files within minutes. It is worth highlighting the varied options that this tool offers, with the ability to choose which storage device to scan, whether it is a USB drive or an internal or external disk, among others. When you connect any of these devices, the program detects it instantly and it appears in its interface.

Recovering data from your computer's hard drive can sometimes take a long time, depending on the size and speed of your hard drive. With Disk Drill, you do not have to wait for the software to finish its work in one go. You can pause a scan or save the scan session when you need to turn off your computer and resume it later.

What you need to know is that each storage medium keeps a map of all sectors, which are really just small parts where information can be stored. When you need to save a new file, your operating system simply looks at the map to see what sectors are still free. If you act fast enough, you should be able to recover your lost file with the help of a good file recovery program such as Disk Drill. The software searches for the known signatures of files, over 400 file types in Disk Drill's case, allowing you to choose exactly what you want to restore, and a preview shows whether a file is intact before recovery. All good file recovery programs work similarly, but differ in the number of features they offer and the number of file signatures they know.
