FreeUndelete let you scan any drive that is plug-in in your computer. The UI and program has little commands but it works. When
FreeUndelete has finished scanning your PC for deleted files so you can view what is on the drive and which items you can delete. You have the option to recover them. The issue only is it won’t let you recover it in same drive where the file originates or deleted from so it is best to recover any items in another location or install FreeUndelete in another location (e.g. another partition, if you plan to recover the files in system drive). I test it in Vista and XP system. I was surprised on what it uncovered and can recover. In XP system that is often cleaned with CCleaner and Windows Disk Cleanup Utility, FreeUndelete able to display the items that I deleted since 2007! (see image at the left). In Vista system, FreeUndelete is also able to find deleted files and I able to recover those files in XP and Vista system.
The program will scan any drive in a minute or two only. It does not slow down the system or conflicts with other applications, especially anti-malware’s real-time protection. The program allows you to filter the result by file type or by folder. The User Interface is simple and do not require to dig to start using. The status of the deleted files is also displayed: good, average or poor which means there is good chance, little or no chance to recover the files.
