Recuva
How many times have we written about deleted files? DOZENS! But we’re going to do it again because it’s important for you to understand that Deleted Files are not deleted, they’re not erased, they’re not gone, they are still there. All that happens when you delete a file is that the space it occupies is marked available for use. So unless that space has been reused (and normally reused several times) that file you deleted can be recovered.
So let’s say you’re getting divorced (we hope not!) because your wife is / was having an affair. Come on, you can’t keep picking on men. Anyway, your wife thought she was pretty smart when she deleted all those smooshy, mushy emails from her young lover – he was 30 years younger than her! But you are a Cloudeight subscriber and your soon-to-be-ex is not. And you know something she does not – deleted files are not deleted – not erased – not gone poof into the blackness of the cyber sky. Nope, they’re still there on your soon-to-be-ex’s computer. But you can’t remember how the heck to look at those deleted files because it’s been years since good old EB and TC told you about the little free software program you can download to snoop around and recover those “deleted files” – your case those smooshy, mushy emails from your cougar wife’s young lover, Jason the Romance Novel Hero.
Well my poor dear betrayed hubby, we’re going to give you the info you need to pry those smooshy, gushy, mushy, romantic emails loose from your soon-to-be-ex’s hard drive so that you can confront her with them and show her what a lowlife, stupid scumbag, Jason the Romance Novel Hero, even if he looks good with no shirt, he still has no brain. So maybe your soon-to-be-ex isn’t looking for brains?
Anyway…
The little freeware program you seek is called Recuva, and you don’t need to have a soon-to-be-ex to use it. Indeed! You can use Recuva to recover accidentally deleted photos, or files you deleted in anger, or whatever. And you can also use it to completely wipe and erase — obliterate even! — all those so-called deleted files so that they cannot be recovered by normal people.
See? You can be smarter than your wife and certainly much smarter than Jason. Recuva (free version) can recover deleted files quickly and easily – and it can also securely erase deleted files beyond recovery (we are not saying beyond forensic recovery like you see in “Law & Order” or the kind the FBI does – the real FBI not the TV show “FBI”.).
I know, I know, it’s time to call in the developer and let go of the soon-to-be-ex and Jason the Romance Novel Hero…
