  1. These are files that delted from the PC, then emptied the recycle bin and then I used CC to overwrite (35 passes) and then searched for using Recuva. The strange thing was, they were listed as in excellent condition and then when I recovered them, their contents was in perfect order, although the overall file was renamed in the format ZZZZ.ZZ In the recovery details, it says there is no overwritten clusters detected... First I used Normal scan and found all 350 of the files that I deleted using CC, I then used Deep scan and found nearly 300,000 files of which about 40% were recoverable but dated back to January when I used CC to remove them...
  2. Hi All, I am running a Gutmann clean (35 passes), but for experimental purposes, I downloaded Recuva to see whether I could find the files again, and althought they are renamed in a new format, the content is still in tact. Are my settings incorrect or am I supposed to never be able to permenantly delete the contents of my files, regardless of the number of passes?
