New Year is upon us and it around this time that many of us start to think about trying to shed a few pounds. The arrival of a new year is a good reason to get back into shape after over-indulging, and with today’s giveaway you can also help to get your hard drive back into good shape by recovering files you may have accidentally deleted.

It does not matter what format you have used for your drive – FAT32, FAT16, NTFS and other formats are all supported – you can scour your hard drives for recoverable files in a number of ways. If you would like to check to find out just what could be recovered, you can opt to perform a scan to reveal all files that could possibly be recovered.

But if you are looking for a specific file that you have accidentally deleted, you can speed things up by performing a search with a range of filters in place. When it comes to recovering files you can do so on a file by file basis, or you can select entire folders or even all files of a particular type – this is a great option if you are recovering photos from a camera card that has been accidentally formatted.
