EclipseWebJS Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Would anyone care to explain why Recuva won't delete files in the MFT zone? If anything, why won't it remove the "directory entry" of the file that's been securely deleted through Recuva? After all, there is a setting that lets you hide securely-deleted files, but these files are still present especially after a rescan.

Moderators Augeas Posted March 25, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2008 I would hazard a guess that it is one or more of: 1) The O/S has control of the MFT and Recuva can't access it at all 2) Recuva can access the MFT but can't lock it to do changes 3) It manage the MFT effectively means managing the entire pc whilst doing changes 4) To mess up a file is unfortunate, to mess up the MFT is a pc rebuild 5) Piriform wouldn't touch the MFT with a barge-pole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
