Piriform Recuva for Windows: Review

As the name suggests, Recuva is developed to recover the data which is deleted. Actually, when the files are deleted, they are not directly removed from the hard drive and they remain there until some new file overwrites them. So, Recuva takes advantage of this fact.

Recuva is a free software that helps you to get back your important data if you have deleted the files mistakenly and also emptied the Recycle Bin. Also, Recuva helps you to recover the deleted E-mails. It helps to recover the data on HDD and removable media for Windows XP and Windows 7 or more. This software performs the scanning of the space on a drive and then finds the possible file types.
