FreeUndelete

FreeUndelete is an app which can scan your computer and recover lost or deleted files. It can be used by both novices and experienced individuals.
This program can also be installed as a portable product. In this case, you can store FreeUndelete on a removable device (like a USB flash drive), save it to any computer and directly run its executable file.
The upside to this is that the Windows registry does not receive new entries and no leftover files can be found after removing the tool. Also, you can carry FreeUndelete everywhere with you when you're on the move.
FreeUndelete comes with a user-friendly interface where you can get started by selecting the volume to look into.
Once the scanning procedure is done, you can check out a list of the name, type, location, status and size, along with the date of creation and last modification for each file.
Simply select which items you want to retrieve, specify the output directory and let FreeUndelete take care of the rest. Additionally, you can set up a filter for the found files and folders. Other features of the lightweight app let you check out log files and get the Master File Table (MFT) of the NTFS logical discs.
FreeUndelete requires a pretty high amount of system resources to finish a task, considering its limited features. It does not give you the possibility of setting up a file/folder filter before initializing the scanning procedure. Plus, there is no option to select or deselect all items. No recent updates have been made to the tool.
