Recuva presents us with over other competing programs is, without a doubt, its speed.
Recuva allows any user to recover accidentally lost information. You will be able to recover deleted files, damaged MicroSD memories, Windows package losses, and even images and videos. The program is free but comes with several limitations in its use, if we want to have all the features we will have to purchase the paid version.
Recuva is an application designed to recover all these files in a timely manner, or perform massive recovery of drives or disks.
How to use Recuva
Mainly, you have to download it from a reliable source or from its official website. It is important to point out that it was programmed at the request of Microsoft through the Piriform company, therefore it is completely safe if the download source is known.
Once executed, it can be configured so that it recovers the files in a certain unit, or simply leave the default configuration. Then it is established what type of recovery is desired. The options are simple or deep recovery.
Files that have been marked as free space, or those that have been voluntarily deleted, can also be recovered, although their most frequent use is to recover data from USB drives, Micro SD and external drives.
Portable and mobile versions
Although its first version only worked for computers, later the portable version was offered, which can be run from a USB without the need for installation, and the mobile version, available for Android with almost the same features as the initial version. Both can recover files deleted, lost and deleted by the operating system itself.
