I deleted a very important, very large file. I'm afraid it's gone foreveer, but hoping Recuva can do its job. I downloaded the free version, but even with the deep scan, it's not showing the file. It does say x# ignored though.
What is the difference between the free and paid versions? Will I have better luck with the paid version, or not likely? Thanks for the feedback!
None differences in the scenerio you describe. NTFS I believe removes MFT records if the file is over 4GB (maybe wrong but...) so any sort of recovery based on file table won't work (which is what deep scan does). I believe that the ignored files are files that aren't deleted that are listed in the MFT (files that still exist according to Windows).
