Recuva (and other recovery tools) can't find Recently Deleted File?

Hello,

I recently installed Recuva because of course I had to have permanently deleted something important. Thing is, this happened recently, I know for a fact this file was deleted just yesterday. For some reason, Recuva (and other recovery tools) are only able to show me files from a month ago, but nothing recently. I have nothing from the month of March, 2020 showing up in my results. 




How can I fix this? What exactly does this mean? It's super confusing being able to see things from a whole month ago but nothing from just yesterday. 




Thank you! 

Have you RESTARTED your machine recently?

I am having the same problem. I just had a CMD file that ran a DEL *.zip and i need to recover those files. It was only a few minutes ago. However all the tools i have tried are not seeing any of the files deleted in today. These files were on the desktop of a win 10 machine.
