14.6 million deleted files?

I ran a deep scan; I don't think I told it to look for un-deleted files but that number worries me. it took 12 hours to hit 100% complete and then... sat there. I finally hit cancel and have been waiting for it to cancel for another hour. WHAT is going on? It's a 2TB hdd, not an external.

Another 6 hours, still cancelling.

Oh! It finally finished. Scanned 1.8TB. AND THERE ARE NO RESULTS. None of the files are coming up at all in the recovery window. It did absolutely nothing all that time. Is this a scam, or a real program!?

It a real program. 2TB will take a very long time to scan with deep scan. You need to let step 1 finish before hitting cancel if you want files to appear iirc.
