Editor's Review

Losing files through accidental deletion can be a very frustrating problem to deal with. Luckily there is a solution - PC Tools File Recover 7.0. There are various ways to accidentally delete a file including but not limited to command line deletion, deleting files in groups, or using file deletion applications that purposely bypass the recycling bin. Whatever the cause of the accidental file deletion is, PC Tools File Recover 7.0 is capable of finding it and then restoring it to it's original location on the hard drive.

Generally speaking, when a file I deleted from the recycling bin, the Windows operating system simply cannot recover it. At this point the user may give up or resort to hiring a professional data recovery service in efforts to recover the lost file. The sad part is, most data recovery service will simply use a software like PC Tools File Recover 7.0 which will automatically find the file and restore it.

It is a little known fact that the information from the deleted file remains intact on the hard drive indefinitely unless it is deleted by a file deletion software which is specifically designed to permanently destroy data. If the file was deleted in the standard manner, then it is still resting somewhere on the hard drive. Although the data remains on the hard drive, over time it is overwritten several times to make room for new deleted files. As this process occurs it become increasingly difficult to recover the file.

PC Tools File Recover 7.0 uses a variety of features such as it's patented rapid scan engine to find any traces of a deleted file that could be recovered. Once the file is found the software uses the File Recover feature to recover the file without negatively affecting or overwriting any part of the hard drive from which the file is recovered. This non-destructive file recovery approach is what makes PC Tools File Recover 7.0 the safest way to recover files without risking even more data loss.

To expedite the file recovery process users can even recover files in batches, instead of having to wait for one to be recovered only to initiate a search for another. The software has a higher success rate at recovering lost files than most other file recovery software because it intelligently searches around bad sectors instead of wasting time and resources searching areas of the hard drive where the file could not be located.
