Deleting files by accident is something that happens more often than you think – no matter how computer literate you are. This is why it's always a good idea to have a tool like Recuva Portable, which you can take anywhere with you.

With Recuva Portable you can restore files that have been accidentally deleted from the computer, a USB drive, an MP3 player, or even a memory card from your photo camera. Recuva Portable works with all sorts of files (photos, music, documents, videos) and doesn't require installation.

All you have to do is follow the step-by-step wizard, which launches when you run the program, and let Recuva Portable do the hard work for you. After the scan is finished (either in normal or deep mode) you'll be presented with a list of recoverable files. Then simply select the files you want to recover and you're ready to go. You also have the possibility to turn the wizard off and use Recuva Portable with an advance interface that shows more technical data.

Obviously Recuva Portable is just a software tool and can't perform miracles. The sooner you use the program after deleting those files, the more chances you have of recovering them. Also, try saving them to a different drive: it improves the percentage of success.

If you've just accidentally deleted some important files, don't freak out: try using Recuva Portable and you'll probably be able to restore them.
