Recovering Non-Deleted file

Hi, I have a question about recovering Non-Deleted files. Can I recover them in place, or do I have to restore them to another drive just like deleted files?

I had a virus (or malware) that initially seemed to delete all of my files, but now it seems like they may just be hidden. Or not, I'm not sure. They show up in Recuva as Non-Deleted files. I'm hoping I can just restore them as-is. Can I?

You can recover non-deleted files to the same drive either in a different folder or to the same folder, when the files will get a _1 added to the file name. You can not recover a non-deleted file on top of itself.

I would question why you are following this path. If the files are non-deleted then there is no point in recovering them, they are already there. I think that your problems may lie elsewhere.
