When we work with the computer we are always exposed to the possibility of deleting a file by human error. We can also lose it due to a Windows error or due to a virus. That is why, it is important and recommended that we always have a backup of all those essential files. Even so, in case of misfortune, we may have the need to recover deleted files, for this we can use a program like Recover My Files , which we are going to talk about next.
Despite what many users think, when we delete a file from our computer, it is not completely deleted, but what really happens is that the space it occupies is marked as available so that it can be used by another file. As long as that space is not occupied, it is possible to dispose of the file again, which is why data recovery programs such as Recover My Files come into play.
With this program we will be able to recover those files whose Windows reference information remains intact, to rebuild the link of the deleted file and thus recover the data. Even in situations where the reference information itself no longer exists, the program performs a low-level analysis to try to locate it based on its internal file structure.
Recover My Files, powerful tool to recover files
Recover My Files is a data recovery program, designed to recover all kinds of deleted files for whatever reason. Whether we have deleted the file from the recycle bin, or if we have lost it when formatting the computer, due to a software failure or a virus, we can recover it. It is compatible with Windows and works on FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS and NTFS5 file systems.
This application allows us to recover data from both the computer’s hard disk, as well as from floppy disks, zip drives, memory cards or any other type of data medium. Recover My Files has the ability to find and recover more than 350 files classified in:
- Emails deleted.
- Deleted documents.
- Deleted files.
- Digital photography.

Your assistant will facilitate all the recovery work
Once we run Recover My Files, its wizard will appear, which is indicated to facilitate its use. This wizard will indicate two recovery options. On the one hand, we have the option to “Recover files” that have been lost, deleted or emptied from the recycle bin or by blocking a program. On the other hand, we have the option to “Recover a drive” , which has been removed by accidental formatting, reinstallation of Windows, system restoration or damaged drive letter.
If we select the “Recover files” option, the following window will appear. In it the hard drives of our computer will appear, with their capacity and the type of format, which in this case is NTFS. We select the unit and click on Next to continue with the wizard.
On the next screen, the wizard will indicate that we must select one of the available file recovery options. On the one hand, we can carry out a “Search for deleted files” , which is the one recommended by the program and will be in charge of analyzing the registry of the operating system to find the deleted files. Or perform a “Search for deleted files and file types” . This search is longer but also more precise since it will try to find the structure of the files for which there is no longer a record in the system. Finally, click on Start, and the application will start searching for files.
Once the search is finished, the main menu will appear with all its interface in Spanish. In the part on the right we will find a column where we will be shown a list in the form of a tree of the unit that we have analyzed and all the folders where it has found deleted items. From here it would only be necessary to navigate to find the file that we want to recover . Once found, retrieving it will be as easy as clicking on its box and selecting the “Save” option located in the toolbar on the upper left. From here we can choose the path where we want the file to be saved again.
