Recuva. Does it only restore to the selected direcotry?

Hi,

Was wondering if someone can help me answer this question. Does Recuva only restore in the selected direcory, or are does it also creat duplicates somewhere? For instance, does it create a temporary folder in the system files somewhere where those files also now exist?

Only in the selected directory. Everything else is done in memory, presumably to avoid the likelihood of overwriting deleted files.
