pluto Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Ok,Recuva finds all the files that can be recovered but sometimes administrators like me want to delete them but they can't because this program can not delete them.It always find 40035 and after it I delete them and I scan again the program still finds 40035 files.That's crazy.I want to delete all these files and I can't.Can anyone please help me??? When you say CCleaner...you've said it all!!! There once was a member of this land, a humorous posting he planned, but when he posted by mods he was toasted, and now he has found himself banned.

Keithuk Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Welcome to Piriform pluto. The idea behind Recuva is to recover files not delete them. Keith Windows XP 2002 SP3 IE 7.0 Martin2k Rorshach112 is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted April 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2008 Pluto, your 40k files listed are deleted, Recuva is finding the file names from (presumably) the Master File Table. Recuva can overwrite these deleted files if you wish, but there's no need unless you have some specifically sensitive filenames in your list. You can't - with Recuva - alter the filenames though. It has been requested before that Recuva remove the file names from the MFT, but this may be a step too far. Even if it did so the deleted files would still be in the same place, it's just that the files found list would be shorter. To be honest I wouldn't worry about them.
