About "Recovered files" Folder

The "Recovered files" folder will hold the files located with SmartSearch.
The new SmartSearch technology invented by The Undelete combines the strengths of the two methods. First, it scans your file system and learns about the files that were simply deleted. During the next step, it scans your hard drive directly in order to locate files that are not present in the file system. SmartSearch uses a list of file signatures to detect the beginning and end of recognized file types such as Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, or JPEG pictures, more then 100 different types of files in total. This method works rock solid even if your hard drive is 9/10 dead, and its file system is completely non-existent! In that case, SmartSearch will simply scan and recover what's left of your disk and your data. This is similar to what the second class of data recovery products does.
Double-click the "Recovered files" to launch SmartSearch on the selected partition.

After the search is complete, you'll see several folders, each containing files of a certain type. You can preview digital pictures before recovering them. To preview a file simply click on its icon and The Undelete will display a preview on the left hand of the window. Click "Display Preview" for a larger preview.

Select a file or folder to recover and click "Recover" to launch the Export Wizard.
