Have you accidentally deleted files which were of utmost importance to you?

Not a problem, you can easily recover it using Remo Undelete, a quick and effective way to recover accidentally deleted files. It is an efficient file recovery software, which not only recovers accidentally deleted files, but can also recover files that have been emptied from the Recycle Bin; files deleted using the Shift + Delete keys, and files that have been deleted, using the Command Prompt.

Some general knowledge, before using Remo Undelete

When you delete a file, the data in the file remains intact on the media, but the space occupied by the file, is marked as free. The next file saved to the disk may overwrite the contents of the deleted file.

It is very important to make sure, that no application writes to the drive or partition where deleted file is located since every new file may overwrite the deleted file. Once data gets overwritten, file recovery is highly impossible.

Tips to follow when you accidentally delete the file

1. Do not open or close files and applications, as those applications create temporary files which may overwrite and corrupt your deleted files.
2. Depending on your system configuration, you should perform one of the following actions:
   • If the deleted files are located on the C drive, or if you have only one logical drive in the system, you should not install any software onto your system, since it will most likely overwrite your deleted file.
   • If your deleted files are not located on the C drive, then you can install the software, and proceed with recovering from the drive containing the deleted file.
3. Run Remo Undelete application and locate the deleted file you wish to recover.
4. Always save the recovered files to a disk or partition of another healthy system.
5. That’s it, now you have your files back!
