Moderators Augeas Posted January 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think that the answer is in the link you posted. If you use Sdelete to overwrite at the file level, then Recuva may be able to find copies of parts or all of the data that have been left after edit and other operations on the file, by running a deep scan. But in general, the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion44 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 thx mate for reply. i checked to see and found that a lot of files have no preview and couldnt be recovered. so sdelete did its job correctly. i like to test out programs like this from time to time. cheers From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related.

Moderators Augeas Posted January 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2009 Was that on individual files or a clean sweep of all the unused space on the disk? I think it renames the deleted files (individual deletion), does it remove path/size info as well? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
