Recover Lost Files from Windows Drives and Removable Storage

GiliSoft Data Recovery helps locate documents, photos, videos, archives, and office files after accidental deletion, an emptied Recycle Bin, quick formatting, a RAW file system, an inaccessible volume, or a lost partition.

Choose the location or loss scenario, run a normal or deep scan, preview supported files, and recover only the items you need. Dedicated modes cover internal drives, external disks, USB flash drives, and memory cards without forcing users through a forensic-style interface.

Use it before repair, reformatting, or writing new data to the affected storage. Recovery results depend on the device condition and whether the lost data has already been overwritten.

Data Recovery Features

Deleted File and Recycle Bin Recovery

Search for files removed normally, with Shift+Delete, or after the Windows Recycle Bin was emptied.

User Reviews

It found the project files we had deleted from an NTFS drive, and preview made it easier to select the right versions.

Data Recovery FAQ

Can GiliSoft Data Recovery recover deleted files after the Recycle Bin is emptied?

It can scan for deleted file records after the Recycle Bin is emptied, but success depends on whether the underlying data has been overwritten. Stop using the affected drive as soon as possible.

Can it recover files from a formatted drive?

It can scan common Windows storage after accidental formatting. Do not copy new files to the formatted volume, and recover found files to another physical drive.

Can it recover data from RAW or inaccessible drives?

It can scan RAW and logically inaccessible storage before repair or reformatting. A drive that clicks, disconnects repeatedly, is not detected, or has physical damage should be handled by a professional recovery service.

Does it support USB drives and memory cards?

Yes. It supports Windows-recognized USB flash drives, external hard drives, SD cards, microSD cards, CF cards, and other removable media.

Can SSD TRIM affect deleted-file recovery?

Yes. When TRIM has cleared deleted SSD blocks, those files may no longer be recoverable by software. Scan promptly, but do not treat a missing result as a software fault or keep writing to the SSD.

Why should recovered files be saved to another drive?

Writing recovered files back to the source can overwrite other data that has not yet been restored. Use another physical drive until the recovery is complete and the files have been verified.

Scan the affected storage before more data is written
