mkbarsbal Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 What i did step by step 1. My USB used entire data wipe using 1 simple Overwrite. 2. After wipe i used recuva which results 100% unrecovered 3. I copy the MOVIE0001.avi (1.6 MB) on my desktop and paste it on my USB 4. Unplug and plug my USB and cut the MOVIE0001.avi and paste it on my desktop 5. USB is empty again then i used recuva and resulting that the MOVIE0001.avi still exist on my USB. I was just surprise that the cut file can still be recovered. Now i'm really paranoid for losing my USB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted March 25, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2016 That's what I would expect. A cut is simply a delete, where the directory entry for the file is flagged as deleted. Recuva is designed to recover such files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkbarsbal Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 But why other files are unrecovered or overwritten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted March 26, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2016 Because you ran a wipe free space against the USB drive, unless there's something here I'm not grasping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
