Moderators DennisD Posted June 9, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi jean, and welcome to Piriform. Have a read of my first experience of using Recuva, and try setting it up as I did in that post: Change the view mode in Options to "Tree View", and under "Actions\Recovering", check "Restore Folder Structure". http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=23991 This allows you to browse straight to the original location of the files, as the display after scanning, mirrors the folder structure of the drive from which you deleted the files. If they were deleted from the same folder, you could then just check the folder itself, for example "My Pictures", and try recovering that. I found that recovering a small number at a time (in my case mp3 tracks), worked better than trying to get them all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean1955 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 thank you ...i'll try...i guess i can't mess it up more than it already is! i've learned an important lesson though...backup stuff that's important to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean1955 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 oh Dennis...i wish i had seen your post sooner...i went thru and recovered all the picture files and ending up clicking about 2,00 files....i then realized that there are duplicate and triplicate files and probably more...i was planning to continue to try and figure out which files i already recovered and which i didn't tonight when i get home from work.If i can recover the folders instead of each individual picture, I'll be soooo happy!

Moderators DennisD Posted June 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2010 Have you been recovering everything into the same folder jean? If I'm understanding what you mean, it may be worth making a new folder, and try the recovery again to avoid having lots of versions of the same files. Keep the ones you already have of course. I'm guessing you may be making each recovery attempt to the same location, resulting in the duplicates, and I hope you're recovering to a different drive, to avoid overwriting any you don't have yet. At the end of the day, you may just have to accept having multiple copies of the same file, which is better than losing them completely. Maybe over time you can weed out some of the duplicates. If I've read this wrong, explain as best you can what you've done exactly, where you're recovering the files to, and have you managed to retrieve everything as far as you can tell? Using the "tree view" and "restore folder structure", should enable you to check the box relevant to the folder your files were in, and everything deleted from that folder (if not overwritten) should in theory be found and recovered. A scan on my C: drive shows a couple of sub folders I recently deleted from "My Pictures". Checking the "My Pictures" box will attempt to recover all deleted photos from that folder: The actual folder box is the only one you need to check. Recuva will put a check mark in the other boxes shown. Apologies if I'm off the mark here jean, as I'm guessing as to what your situation is exactly.

eniwetok Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 i meant 2,000 files Depending on what setting you have set in Options... you may actually be seeing photos that were never deleted. Make sure to uncheck SCAN FOR UNDELETED FILES. This option is for recovering undeleted files from crashed disks... not functioning disks where photos were actually deleted. Another way of telling is if in OPTIONS > INTERFACE > LIST VIEW mode you can check one of the columns that may be hidden from view and it will reveal their STATE... as deleted or not.
