Data recovery utility for Windows (all versions).

File Scavenger is a powerful data recovery utility designed to help users undelete, recover, and repair lost digital assets. It stands out from other data recovery programs thanks to its deep searching algorithms and easy-to-use interface.

The user interface of File Scavenger is very intuitive and straightforward. It has a clean and modern design, with a dark theme and large, easy-to-read text. The main window consists of a simple menu bar, a toolbar, and a list of results. You can also customize the interface to show more or less information, or to customize the view mode.

Easily recover data with the portable utility

With File Scavenger, you can recover accidentally deleted data. This program is also portable, so there is no need for a full installation in order to recover data.

The primary feature of File Scavenger is its powerful search engine. It can scan multiple drives and partitions to find deleted, corrupted, or lost files. It supports all major file systems, including FAT, NTFS, and HFS, as well as a variety of other formats. The program also supports a variety of search filters, allowing you to narrow down your search and find exactly what you're looking for.

Upon first starting File Scavenger, you just have to select the drive to be searched from which data is to be recovered. The software analyzes the appropriate media and lists all recoverable files. If required, you may also filter the search. This means you may, for example, recover JPG files. Once you've found the lost data, select a destination for it to be recovered to.

With this program, your rate of success may vary and it's important to note that if the data has been completely overwritten, your chances of success are lowered significantly. Otherwise, you should be able to 'undelete' different types of data easily.
