Hello friends, in this article we will discuss with you how to recover deleted files from flash drive or how to recover files after formatting flash drive. I often have to deal with such a problem and I want to tell you how to solve it. The article is long and detailed, since I sincerely want to help users recover deleted files.
It is important to know that files on a flash drive may be inaccessible for two reasons:
1) Infection of the contents of the flash drive with a virus. In this case, your files on the flash drive are intact, but they have been modified by a virus program, and besides, the virus has assigned them the "Hidden" attribute. In this case, we check the flash drive with an antivirus and remove the malicious program, then remove the "Hidden" attribute from the files. We do everything quickly and accurately (details later in the article).

2) The second reason. In fact, your files were deleted from the flash drive for some reason. Usually, users themselves delete files on a flash drive, for example, they format a flash drive, but then they remember that the necessary information was on it. In this case, you need to resort to a free or paid program to recover deleted files, in this article we will recover files deleted on a flash drive using several very good similar programs. Now everything is in detail, but at the beginning of the article there is a letter from our reader Sergey.

How to recover deleted files from flash drive, which disappeared in a rather strange way. My story is this: I inserted a flash drive into a friend’s laptop, copied the necessary information, then came home, connected the flash drive to my computer and was very surprised, my antivirus got alarmed and immediately removed ten viruses from the flash drive. Then I went to the flash drive and did not find a single file there. I read on the Internet that it is necessary to recover deleted files carefully, with some special program, and in no case on a damaged flash drive. And I also read that it is quite possible that the files were not deleted, but simply because of an error or a virus infection they were assigned the "Hidden" attribute, this attribute must be removed by running some kind of "batch file". Tell the admin, how should I proceed and where to start? I myself tried to use two programs to recover deleted information on flash drives, but unfortunately I did not find anything but garbage on the flash drive.

How to recover deleted files from a flash drive using DMDE

The very first program that we will use to recover deleted files from a flash drive is DMDE.
A rather serious and reliable program from a domestic developer called DMDE is able to recover deleted information from various drives, including flash drives. In addition, the program can!
Go to the official DMDE website http://dmde.ru/download.html

And download the program in the archive and unzip it. DMDE works without installation. Let's launch it. In the initial window Select device / disk (physical devices), select our Corsair flash drive and click OK.

There is a quick search for deleted files on a flash drive, often with the help of it it is possible to find files on a flash drive and restore them. We select the space of our flash drive with the left mouse and click on the Open volume button.

In this window, click (All found + reconstruction).

We agree to a virtual reconstruction of the file system.

The files found by the program are displayed in the right part of the program window. If nothing is displayed, expand the $Root folder located on the left side of the window. If you find the file you want to recover, right-click on it and select Restore Item from the menu. Then select in the Explorer window exactly where you want to save the file to be restored, for example, on your desktop. That's it, your file has been restored. Unfortunately, the free version of the program will not allow you to restore an entire folder of files, you will get this error. So that life does not seem like honey, you will have to restore files one at a time or buy a program. But we can recover one at a time, as long as the program finds the deleted files.
In our case, a quick search did not bring any results, so we use a detailed search. Click on the "Disk Partitions" button

Select our flash drive with the left mouse and click the "Search NTFS" button.

Search.

A detailed search will start, which may take a little longer than a quick search, but the result will naturally be much better. The search reached 100 percent and lasted 20 minutes on a 16 GB flash drive. We look at the "Compliance" column, it is used to evaluate the quality of file recovery on the found volume. Double-click on the first section with the left mouse.

Save the search log just in case.

Click again (All files + reconstruction).

Virtual reconstruction of the file system. OK.

Friends, DMDE found all the deleted files on the flash drive. As you can see, all found folders are marked with different icons: red dots, crosses, and so on. What does it all mean?

For example, a red dot on a yellow folder tells us that the folder contains deleted files that can be recovered. A more complete description is given on this diagram or the developer's website http://dmde.ru/manual/filepanel.html

But finding deleted files is not enough, the program still needs to restore them, so much so that they are in working order. Let's try to restore them, as I have already noticed, it will not be possible to restore the entire folder at once, we will get such an error,

So we go to the desired folder and restore all the files one by one. Right-click on the desired file and select "Restore Object".

We choose exactly where we want to restore files, for example, directly to the desktop.

Result 90 percent of the files on the flash drive have been restored, and almost all of them are in working order. I am satisfied. But one thing is inconvenient, in the free version you cannot restore files in groups. How to recover deleted files from a flash drive with R.saver

Also a good free program from a serious developer of such programs, UFS Explorer, is able to recover deleted files from various media and flash drives, including. We go to the official website of the R.saver program and download the program in the archive.

http://rlab.ru/files/Download/logicheskoe_vosstanovlenie_dannyh/R.saver/

R.saver, like the DMDE program discussed earlier, works without installation, unzip the archive and run the program.
All drives are quickly scanned. We see that the program found one partition on our Corsair flash drive (volume 14.93 GB), right-click on it and select "Search for lost data" or "Restore after formatting".

We answer "Yes", because we want to perform a full scan of our flash drive for the presence of deleted files.

The file system is being reconstructed.

Then the file system is reconstructed by signatures using the IntelliRAW algorithm.

If you chose "Restore after formatting", then such a window will appear in which you must select a partition by volume suitable for your flash drive, usually this is the very first partition.

And here is the result, in the left window of the program you can see all the folders found by the program, and in the right window their contents. I can say that the program worked as well as DMDE. Found almost all the information of interest.

Unlike DMDE, R.saver saves files much more conveniently, select the desired folder, right-click on it and select "Copy to ..."

Explorer opens, choose where to copy, for example, directly to the desktop, click Select.

The recovered files are copied to the desktop.

All files that have been recovered are in working order. Draw your own conclusions friends.
