A few days ago I was looking for an old image psd file that I designed for a client. I’ve
formatted my computer a few times and I think I have not entirely back up my files. The image files must have been deleted. Now my old client is asking me to redesign the work I have done for him using the same image. I thought to myself it would take a week to design the whole work again without the psd. Arghh! I should have kept the image file in external hard disk before formatting my computer. So I went to search for a handy software that could search my accidentally deleted image file. That is when I found Handy Recovery. It is an easy-to-use data recovery software designed to restore files accidentally deleted from your PC. So heck, why not give it a try. Now the problem is it is not freeware. It is priced at $39 for a single user license. You can download a 30-day trial version. Please note that the evaluation version can recover only 1 file per day. So since I was just looking for a psd file, I download and install Handy Recovery.
The process is very easy. Just select the disk you want to scan and click on the search partitions button. You can browse the content of your disk like you do it in Windows Explorer. The only difference is that you see deleted files and folders along with the regular ones. And guess what, I found my psd file, lucky for me it shows probability of successful recovery for each file and my file was good and I could recovered the file! Yahoo..
What I see Handy Recovery can recover files damaged by virus attacks, power failures and software faults or files from deleted and formatted partitions. If some program does not use Recycle Bin when deleting files, Handy Recovery can restore such files. It can also recover files moved to Recycle Bin after it has been emptied. I saw the files which I just deleted from the recycle bin a few weeks ago.
Handy Recovery supports all Windows file systems for hard and floppy drives. It can also recover compressed and encrypted files on NTFS drives.
