Recuva File Recovery Editor's Review

When you use a PC for either professional or personal needs, it becomes almost mandatory to use certain third party software. When you need to retrieve deleted files, there are specific apps for that too. File deletion can happen by mistake or other issues. No matter what the cause is, third party file recovery apps can be used in such situations. If you need capable data recovery software that can be used for free, give Piriform’s Recuva a try.

This free file recovery app can fetch deleted files from nearly any disk supported by Windows. This means it can be used to recover files from internal, external hard disks, storage media, USB drives etc. The app comes in 2 variants. One is for regular installation on a Windows based PC. The other is portable version which means you can carry it on a USB stick. Recuva can be installed on PCs with Windows XP and later editions, in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. The app does not hog much resources post installation, as it is.

Recuva has a simple and minimalistic interface that can be used even by beginners without any fuss. Both versions of this app have an identical workflow. It will greet you with a Wizard based interface for file recovery from a disc or external media. You can choose what type of files to recover, such as images, music and documents. You may scan a partition or entire hard disk for such files.

After the scan is over, Recuva displays a list of files that are recoverable. You can get a preview of such files in app Window, except PDF files. It is prudent that each recoverable file is marked by colored flags and so you can understand its recovery possibility. At this stage, you can pick which files to be recovered and set a location for recovered files to be stored. It lacks an integrated burner for recovered data though.

Working with Recuva is a smooth experience in general. The Advanced mode offered by the app is meant for users who are well versed with such apps, to be frank. The app also lets you delete a file securely which is a boon for users who want to eradicate sensitive data. There are a number of secure deletion methods that you can pick from.

Positive Points:
 -  Wide OS support, intuitive UI.
 -  Freeware, not resource hungry.
 -  Has an advanced mode.
 -  Offers Secure file deletion options.

Negative Points:
 -  No integrated burner.
 -  Does not preview all recover worthy files.

Conclusion:
Overall, Recuva is a capable file recovery app that also doubles up as a versatile file shredder, bundled into one. It is easy to use and wizard based workflow eases things for first time users. The app works as desired and does not consume much resource in your PC. The wide OS support and opt on for a portable version makes the freeware even more suitable for users. It will satisfy majority of home and casual users.

Rating: 3.5/5
