rjo98 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Can someone help me understand why Recuva would show me "not deleted" files? I'm guessing maybe its files that could be recovered that have been moved around by a defrag, but that the files actually still exist on a different part of the hard drive. What I was trying to do with Recuva was to check all the files in the list, then have it securely overwrite them all. Seems when I pick the entire list, I dont get that option. Too bad there isn't a way to just check all the ones that could be securely overwritten by Recuva, or is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted September 1, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2010 Possibly because you have the Option 'Scan for Non-Deleted Files' checked. This will give the symptoms you describe. Uncheck it and all will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
