Have you deleted an important file by mistake? Don't worry, all of us have done it at least once. The good news however is that you can now recover deleted files through many free softwares which are widely available on the internet. In this post, I will make you familiar with a simple and light app known as recuva. Although there are many advanced apps available, recuva can do it's job neat and fast. The truth that the entire app weighs lower than 5 Mb adds to this point. Now, lets get  to the pros and cons of recuva.



Pros:

1. Small file size.
2. Neat and smooth.
3. Fast scanning for deleted files.
4. Best for recovering Movies, Pictures And documents

Cons:

1. Cannot recover files folder-wise.
2. Unable to recover installed games.(There will be hundreds of files). However setups can be recovered.
3. Not for professional use.

Now, lets get to it.

1. First of all you have to download the app from this link.
2. Next, like always install the app.
3. Open the app  and a wizard will run. It's pretty straight forward from there.
4. After the wizard, Quick Scan will start ( Unless you had chosen otherwise). My suggestion is to first try quick scan and if it doesn't find the file you want to recover, then try the deep scan.
5. After scanning put a tick on the check-boxes and click on 'Recover'
7. In the next step choose any local drive except the one from which you are recovering the file.
8. The files will be recovered immediately.

How Does Recuva Work

When we delete files from our hard disk or any other storage disk, windows simply makes the file invisible to the file explorer(Not that simple actually) . Meaning that the file you deleted is still intact in your storage device. But when we copy another file into the same storage device, windows automatically assigns the space where the older file had existed to the new file. Simply put, windows overwrites the old file with the new file. If this happen,s it is impossible to recover, whatever apps you use, that is why you cannot recover any files if your storage device became full after deleting the file.

Recuva, like all other recovery softwares scan for these 'invisible' files and brings them back to the 'visible' area. Sounds simple, doesn't it? well, it actually is. At least to understand anyway.
