Recover Deleted Files for Free with SecureRecovery® Undelete

Accidental deletion is more common than most think. Attention wanders for a moment, and critical documents, photos, or videos get erased. However, these files are often recoverable on hard disk drives (HDDs) even after people permanently delete them. That is because hard drives store deleted files until new data overwrites them.

SecureRecovery® Undelete is a tool that locates and restores deleted data on the disk. The software is straightforward and free for personal use. It does not force users to subscribe to receive a functional version or install unwanted programs. Undelete works with the latest Windows release and supports most NTFS and FAT file systems.

To preserve original data and prevent overwriting, download Undelete to a different device from the drive with deleted files.

Features:

  • Supports Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11
  • Supports most NTFS and FAT file systems
  • Restores common file types
  • Restores folder structure and subfolders

Note: Recovering deleted files from a solid-state drive (SSD) is much harder due to their design and the presence of TRIM commands. As a result, Undelete is not compatible with most modern SSDs.

Corrupt files contain digital data with errors. Once corrupted, files might not open, and if they do open, they could show garbled data. Regardless, users must repair the data before using the file.

We engineered the software to deal with corruption on a certain storage device. The following versions are free to use.

Custom Data Loss Solutions

Despite the improvement of data recovery software, it still has limitations. Utilities cannot retrieve data in cases that involve physical damage. In those cases, an engineer must repair the damage before restoring data. In addition, software often struggles when it encounters extensive corruption, such as files infected by a virus. Yet specialists can frequently recover that data with advanced tools and file carving techniques.
