Undelete From Disk

Use the Undelete From Disk button or the Undelete From Disk option in the File menu to recover files that have really been deleted.

When you delete a file under Windows NT/2000, the system does not remove it from the disk, but instead marks the space the file occupies as free space. Undelete From Disk reverses the process and marks the space of the previously deleted file as in-use, instead of copying it from the Recovery Bin, as is done by Undelete.

The Undelete From Disk feature allows you to recover files that have been really deleted, such as files purged from the Recovery Bin, or files that were deleted when the Recovery Bin was not enabled. Undelete From Disk can also be used to recover files from volumes or directory folders that have been excluded from Recovery Bin processing. Note that this operation can only succeed if the space occupied by the file that is to be undeleted has not been overwritten during the time it was marked as free space.
