Need help recovering Jpg and jpeg files

I need help in recovering about 10 jpeg or jpg pictures from about 3 years ago. The file is in C and the file is in pictures> Can Crusher file.

I made the mistake of running the deep scan , and ended up with 662 MB in 5700 files. This included about 3000 Jpg files . I only need that folder with the pictures. Apparently a downloader I was trying out, like Real Player or Gom changed the form of the pictures. The file I can readily see, shows icons that appear to be little pages with the right corner folded. Clicking on each one, only gives the number of pixels used to form the icon- nothing more. I don't know what, if anything to change these places where the pictures were, or if anything I have now, will open them.

I'm trying to stay within the maximum recovery the free version allows. I need to know , I guess how to type the search correctly that uses C\ and Can Crusher pictures in jpg or jpeg. This would cut the total to less than 30 MB

I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree, or I wouldn't have made the mistake to start with.

Thanks very much for your help

Hi nosmiley, and welcome to the forum.

If you go into "Options\General\View mode" and select "Tree view", then the results of the scan will be displayed in the original folder structure of the files and folders found.

This will enable you to open up the file tree and target the original locations (folders) of the particular images you are looking for. As shown here ...

Bear in mind though that your C: drive is in constant use which means constant writing to the drive, which means you will find a lot of files have been overwritten during the preceding 3 years.

I hope you are lucky and find what you want, but I thought that worth a mention.

If you do find your files, and in case you aren't aware, recover them to a different drive or partition. That's very important.

Good luck. :)
