Hey all.... just wondering if there is a freeware for undeleting accidental deleted files that will work on SD (secure digital) media ????

I accidentally deleted files from a SD card that I use in my Canon SX20 IS camera. As a side note.... I used the camera's delete function to delete all the files (not format).


so.... anything out there that would work on a SD card????

Recuva does a decent enough job for the price:

These are the guys who brought us CCleaner, one of the most popular free apps out there.

I haven't tried Recuva but have tried both CCleaner and defraggler from Piriform and they get 10/10 from me.

Let us know if you try.

Is there an echo in here?

What the............. fools seldom differ.

Ecosse try Auslogics disk defrag, It's faster than Defraggler and better! And it's Freeee!

Why TYVM, I'll give that a whirl!

Wow that Recuva's pretty damn excellent. Just tested it out. That Piriform are an
excellent team might i add! As for Ccleaner, the best tool out there. Speaking of tools,
where' Michael C just now.....

Haha, bitch. I've tried every defragmentor program and I say that PerfectDisk is the overall best. I used to use Diskeeper, and O&O which were both great, but PerfectDisk beats them both out for me. After running a defragment with PerfectDisk, I can feel[i][/i] the difference.

McFly and Ecosse....

you guys rock.... thanks for that suggestion... sorry i didnt get back sooner but after I posted, I had to go and cook some dinner for me and my girls....

BUT.... I downloaded Recuva and tried it out..... wooottt.... it got it all back.... I know that once you delete it.... as long as you dont write anything to it that you will have a better chance of getting it back...

I installed the program... and pointed it to the SD card. It got it all back... pictures and movie clips (*.mov) taken from the camera. They were Holloween pictures and clips of my little girls.

By the way.... once you guys said it was the same folks that created CCleaner..... I was very hopeful as I use CCleaner myself.

As for defrag utilities.... I use JK Defrag and have been pleased with it.


Thanks again guys !!!

On behalf of McFly and myself, yer very welcome.

Ahhhhhhh, another happy customer.

Next?

One thing thing tho. I'm not sure how to run these programs. Yes I know they are
straight forward - this one in particular BUT here's an example:

Test 1:

Clean system with Ccleaner (to make sure every thing's wiped)
Obtain a "test" File (in this case - a music file labelled "test" for test purposes)
DELETE IT from Recycle Bin - not Ccleaner...

Run Recuva

Select Music, and Next
Select In Recycle Bin, and Next
Start (Not Deep Scan)
I actually get 4 files all labelled like "$IIBIOQ.mp3"
So I recover them back to D Drive, and none of them work?!

What am I doing wrong here?
