Recover My Files

The majority of PC users know the horror of accidentally deleting sensitive files from a computer. There are some pictures and programs that are stored only on a certain computer, and deleting these files results in heartbreak or hardship. Thankfully, Recover My Files is a program that helps unfortunate PC users recover the files they've accidentally deleted. It's a quick, simple setup and the program has infinite value. It's surprisingly easy to delete files from a computer without double-checking to make sure that they're not important. If this has happened to you, then Recover My Files exists to help.

Recover My Files examines a computer drive to determine what files have been deleted, the original location of the file and the file type. The scan yields a list of deleted files and gives the user options to recover that file to a specific location of their choice. If you know the name of the specific file that you've deleted, you can search for it and bypass the long scan process.

For those that have committed the ultimate sin and deleted an entire drive, it can also be recovered during a lengthy process. It can take awhile for the search results to show everything you need to see to recover the files. Recover My Files can also be used to search through a computer and see what other users have been deleting. Some people do this to keep track of the behavior of children or significant others. You can generally open most of the files and see what they were. This is handy if you're trying to find image files, which don't necessarily have names. Opening hundreds of image files searching for one particular file can be a long, drawn out chore, so it helps to know the name of the file before searching. If you don't, and the file is still very important to you, it still pays to use Recover My Files.
