When you consider the topic of file recovery you must bear in mind two separate factors. The first is that the files you wish to locate and recover can be of many possible types. The second factor is that those various files are likely to be located (albeit hidden) on all kinds of devices.
Perhaps the most commonly deleted and then recovered file types are image files. These include JPEGs, TIFs, PNGs, GIFs, BMPs and around a hundred more very commonly used file types. But these do not include video files such as AVI or MOV files. The next type of file you are likely to be searching for in your quest to recover deleted files are document files. Most people assume that these are strictly .DOCs, but there are dozens of file types for text processing. In fact there is a proprietary file type for every different word processor. Beyond Document, video and image files there are zipped files, executables, library files and at least ten thousand other file types. How does this apply to you? When you are attempting data recovery using a third party program for that purpose you need to make sure the program you buy will find and recover any and all file types stored on your PC. A cheap program that only recognizes a few files will never suffice.
