Recovering data from the recycle bin

[philstanbridge]

I foolishly deleted a folder from the recycle bin about an hour ago that I really need back. I've had a quick look at some recovery software and although it finds plenty it doesn't appear to find anything remotely like what I just deleted.

The data was on drive D:, and I deleted it from the recycle bin.

I've had a quick look at recuva and a couple of others. Can anyone recommend anything specific that is free.

Ta in advance.

Ignore the highlights, couldn't be bothered to remove them.


Recuva and freeUndelete are the first two I'd try.

Runtime getdataback and filescavenger are the best paid (that I've used)

Recuva has always worked well for me

Thanks! I've tried Recuva and a few others. It spent 6 hours looking at my drive! No joy Never mind thanks anyway.
