Ok..so the drive wiper. I have wiped free space a load of times now. And Recuva can still find 318000 plus ...deleted files. Why is that? Its obviously not a true wipe then is it.....
Is Recuva stating in the little info box that the "file is resident in the MFT" or something along those lines?
I've split this into its own thread as tacking onto a nigh-on six-year thread is not relevant.
My bet on this is that the OP is looking at non-deleted files. Recuva will show these as a count (i.e. 318,000 files ignored) or as a list if Show Non-Deleted Files is selected.
