What is Recuva?
Recuva is a small, easy Windows program for files that were deleted recently from a healthy hard disk, USB stick or memory card. The free version covers normal undelete jobs; a paid Pro version is optional.
It is best for simple cases. For formatted, RAW or failing drives use a deeper tool — or a lab.
