Performing a system restore will keep your data files intact; however, certain files may be deleted in the process. Deleting a file doesn't mean that it's lost forever. If nothing else has needed the space since the deletion, the file is still available and can be recovered. Undelete Plus makes it easy to recover these lost files.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Download and install Undelete Plus. Once installation has completed, launch the program.

  2. Step 2

    Select the drive(s) under "Drives" you would like to recover deleted files from.

  3. Step 3

    Click the "Start Scan" button. Once the scan is complete, the right-hand pane will list files that are available for recovery.

  4. Step 4

    Select the files you wish to recover. By default, they will all be selected. Select a location to which you would like to save the undeleted files. You will be given the option to save the files in the original folder selection. Click "Start Undelete." Your files have now been recovered and restored.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be patient as Undelete Plus scans your drive(s) for deleted files. On large drives with lots of data, this can take quite awhile.
