tanis Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hello, I'm trying to recover files from a formatted HDD and Recuva is doing a great job with the deep scan option as it figured out most of the files, but there is no way I can recover even just one of them. I keep getting the error "Max path length exceeded". I tried disabling the option to recover using the full folder path but still nothing. I tried recovering just one file from the root of my formatted HDD but that same error keeps popping up. Please let me know if there's anything I can provide you to better debug the problem. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanis Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks for the reply Hazelnut, but recovering to a path like C:\R\ doesn't help as it's still not working. That was the first thing I thought when that error came up. So my best bet was that the path where I wanted to recover the files was too long. But it looks like that's not the problem.

tanis Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I found a solution. Well.. I wouldn't call that a solution but it worked for me. Downgrading to version 1.40 did the trick. I suppose something has been broken after 1.40 I hope you guys will look further into this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted January 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2013 Although something appears to be amiss, I recover stuff quite frequently - for testing - and I don't get this error. I guess there is some combination of parameters that's causing it, but I don't know what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recohigh Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I have the same problem. Windows Live Mail automatically created in the folder "Recovered Items" countless subfolders, in line. I do not know why. Recuva shows these long paths to, but recovering in a self-selected folder (short path) is denied because of the long source paths. A bug?
