Top freeware programs to recover or undelete your data
Recuva File Recovery Software 1.3.7 (freeware)
What we like about Recuva is that it is much more of a data recovery toolkit than a simple one-trick pony. It can perform data and file recovery on the standard list of devices such as hard drives, USB flash keys and external drives. However, where this freeware recovery software really makes its mark is the additional data recovery options for iPods, email software and Office documents.

File Recovery 4 (free)
A versatile of the free data recovery programs, File Recovery 4 can scan drives for deleted files - even if the hard drive has been reformatted. It is designed to work with hard drives and external drives, but it can also work its recovery magic on memory cards and USB flash keys.

Free Undelete 2.0 (free for personal use)
Free Undelete, as the name suggests is a free data recovery program with advanced filter and sorting options, making it easier to track down a document when there may be multiple versions on the same drive, or large numbers of similarly named file.



PhotoRec Data Recovery 6.11.3 (Mac freeware version)
No matter how much praise the Mac OS receives, there is one thing that Apple cannot change - Mac's are operated by people, and people make mistakes. A simple distraction can send precious files into the void and that's where a data recovery program is essential. Compared to Windows, few data recovery programs exist for Macs and even fewer are free. However, PhotoRec Data Recovery (and companion program TestDisk) is a free tool that performs effective data recovery on a Mac

Smart Recovery 4 (freeware)
When it comes to free data recovery software, sometimes you get a simple program that performs a single, specific function. On occasions, file recovery is not always so straight-forward. That's where Data Recovery Software Tools stands out from other file recovery programs. It can run the usual range of scans to recover lost or deleted data but it's the extra features that can really help you recover your data from a bad situation.

ADRC Data Recovery Software Tools (free)
Digital camera memory cards are probably the champions of accidential file deletions and this is made worse by the simple fact that they often contain files that are more valuable than most of our other possesions. Why else do people name photos as things they would rescue in a fire - only beated by children and pets? Smart Recovery is a specialised beast - focusing mainly on retrieving photos and videos off digital camera memory cards. It can also run a scan to check for damage on the card.

Restoration 3.2 (free for personal use)
A tiny and powerful data recovery that is ultra-trim at a mere 0.2MB. This tiny size is important for two reasons. If you have to run it on a computer hard drive which has the deleted files, you minimise the chance of accidentially over-writing the files you are attempting to undelete. It has a second trick - you don't need to install it. Restoration will run from a USB drive, CD, USB key or any other removable device without needing to copy itself onto your hard drive.

CDCheck 3
Have you found a CD or DVD showing files damage? Or perhaps you can no longer read a file on an important backup disc? With CDCheck's recovery mode, you can make a deep scan of the disc, recovering your lost files along the way.
