Have you ever face this kind of situation? You have deleted a few files to free up some space in your hard disk, empty the recycle bin but suddenly you realized that you accidentally deleted a wrong file. Now how do you get it back? Don't panic, clear up your mind and start looking for options.
There are many data recovery software out there, how do you know which one is the best. Well, if you don't try it all you wouldn't know. And each software has different features to apply on different kind of situations. Anyway, I have found a good freeware solution for recovering deleted files:

I always look for a free stuff first before looking for the commercial or pro software. Freeundelete does the job pretty well. You can choose which drive you want to scan. It will show you a list of all deleted file on that particular drive. Select any file from the list and choose where you want to save the recovered file. It will advice you to save it on different drive to avoid further damage on the data. That's it.
Free software always has limited functionality. If you want to perform harder task such as recovering data after hard drive has being formatted, you might need software such as EasyRecovery Pro which will cost you about $500 (price depend on several variants). It is a good practice to download a trial version before deciding to buy any software tagged with that price.
Despite all this, there is no guarantee that you will get back all your data intact. Based on my experience, the success rate of data recovery depends how severe the damage done on your hard disk. So, best of luck.
