Hi I'm looking for a totally free recovery tool I recently downloaded easeus but realized you only get to recover 500mb then you have to upgrade so if there is a tool out there that is free and lets you recover more than 500mb I would appreciate the help thanks.
I've used Kickass Undelete with success....
Kickass Undelete - a free, open source file recovery tool for WindowsFeatures:
- Free and Open Source
- Support for both FAT and NTFS filesystems
- Filter by filename and extension
- Easy-to-use interface
- Unreasonably large scan button
Do you mean
Recovery of contents of a failed disk
OR
Recovery of deleted files on a working disk
?
Different tools apply to these two different requirements.
I would urge you to edit your original post to one of these two titles. You could also then search TenForums for relevant existing threads [of which there are many].
If you are referring to Recovery of contents of a failed disk then it would help you a lot if you added a description of the symptoms of failure [so that those with the most relevant experience of disk failures can best assist you].
Please note that I am not experienced with successful recovery so cannot offer any advice. On the only occasion on which I had a disk "fail" it just suddenly disappeared in the middle of a file copy operation but, even though File explorer could see it when reconnected in a USB caddy, none of the relevant recovery tools could see the disk at all.

Hi Bree I tried kickass but it only found internet thumbs and text but it never found my downloads large files that I accidentally deleted.
Guru I took your advice but I can't see an option to edit my thread.
Getdataback and Recuva are 2 other tools you see mentioned a bit. I've never used either one.
Member Jumanji is kind of the resident expert on this stuff. Maybe he will see this thread.
Most of the commercial products offer trials, but they are limited in the amount of data you can recover. Better to use a backup imaging tool on a regular basis for miss deleted files. Usually easy to recover a file(s) from the backup with drag and drop.
I had a HDD go tits-up and tried all these .. Recuva, Undelete etc - nothing worked, I doubt the paid stuff works either... just gave up in the end.
Hi superfly the drive still works I just deleted files by mistake lol the tool easeus did work it recovered everything but I could only get back 500mb of data then they wanted me to pay 71quid good way of pulling people in but I'm too tight lol.
