Recuva is a popular and very easy to use tool designed to recover data that has been erased in various circumstances - by user inattention, virus or software failure. The programme is addressed to both beginners and more experienced audiences. On the one hand, it offers a data recovery wizard that collects information about the circumstances of data loss (data type, location) and scans selected locations in a few steps, on the other hand, it allows you to skip this help and manually define individual action parameters.

After the disk analysis process and searching for lost data, the program displays a list of all found files. Apart from such data as file name, presumed location or size of individual files, the user also obtains information about the status of deleted files and the possibility of their recovery. Among the unquestionable advantages of the tool are the speed of disk scanning for deleted data and the ability to preview some file formats.
