NTFS Undelete

Keeping a file somewhere safe on your computer doesn’t mean it can’t get removed, even by accident. What’s more, you can only recover it from the Recycle Bin, but if you don’t find it there, you might want to know that specialized applications like NTFS Undelete aim to offer a helping hand in this regard.

Visually appealing and easy to use

It takes only a little while to get the application installed on your computer. Upon launch, you’re greeted by a visually appealing interface that lets anyone accommodate in a jiffy. Even if you do have a hard time getting around the visual design, there’s always the possibility to launch the built-in wizard that gradually asks for details on how you lost the files, and where, in an attempt to make the whole process easier.
Regardless of the method you use, sooner or later you need to initiate the scan process, but not before selecting the target drive. An important aspect needs to be kept in mind, and that is the application is also capable of scanning and recovering files from FAT system as well.

Apply filters for easy identification

Surprisingly, the scan process takes only a little while, but this mostly depends on the size of the target drive. Once finished, a prompt shows up and gives brief details on the number detected files, as well as some specifics like photos, documents, and archives.
NTFS Undelete then lets you browse through all files it managed to find in the scan process. Navigation can be done from a side panel to easily select folders or file types, while the center area enlists them with more details like name, path, status, size, date created, and modified.
A destination needs to be selected in order for the application to be able to start recovery. Before this is done, it’s also possible to enable a HEX preview of files. Although you’re recommended to pick a destination other than the scanned drive, it’s also possible to scan and recover to a single drive.

On an ending note

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that NTFS Undelete manages to live up to expectations, scanning a bit more than the name suggests. The visual design quickly gets you up and running, with a wizard that makes sure you don’t get stuck along the way. Scanning is done fast, with files then shown in categories to make selection and recovery easy.
