i ran recuva, and had alot of old files...
i did a gutman wipe with ccleaner, and a clear white space.
when i went back into recuva, all the files were still there... surely this defeats the purpose of ccleaner?
or is there something i'm missing here?
thanks
Did you actually open the files you recovered?
Did you actually open the files you recovered?
didn't try... there's just a load of thumbnails... why would they be there if ccleaner was supposed to wipe em?
cheers
1. The files may still list as "existing" but the shouldn't be recuva-able.
2. Just to narrow down the info for the devs:
Are saying that the thumbnail is viewable in the recuva preview, or that the file is listed?
Can you also recover the file and see if it will open in you image application.
Also list the ccleaner, recuva and windows version you are running.
well i can see the thumnails on some, and just file names on others with "no preview"
using the latest versions.
At the moment as far as I last knew WFS isn't able to rename the files.
Can you also try recovering a file to see it is retrievable. or only the preview.
