Hi Guys,

 

I deleted a 150Mb .pst file off my desktop at home! by mistake and emptied the recycle bin (opps i know)

 

Can anyone recommend a GOOD data recovery app, I've used GetDataBackup for NTFS but that scanned the entire drive and then crashed!!

 

Any suggestions?

I've used Recuva in the past

[RabbieBurns]

Is your drive NTFS?

 

GDB is good.. but if its not working maybe try Recuva?

 

Recuva - Download

 

made by the same folks as cccleaner, and its free too

I've used getback NTFS and FAT for years and has always served me well.

+1 for GDB NTFS & FAT as well as Recuva

Running now!!

 

I hope you're not "on this pc" with the same hard disk at the moment?
