How to ignore deleted files?

Recommended Posts

I accidentally re-formatted my drive. I already scanned and recovered once with the free version, and in the interests of completeness I purchased pro (because I am happy with the software) and wanted to do another scan.

Problem is I *know* that there are hundreds of thousands of deleted files on the drive. I don't care about those, I want to focus only on the lost files from the format. Problem is I can't find an option to ignore deleted files and so the scan is underway displaying "Stage 1 of 3: Scanning drive for deleted files"

Is there a way to skip stage one and just look for non-deleted files?

Thanks

No, but if you run a normal scan (with select non-deleted files) and no deep scan the scan will be complete in a very short time. You will still get all the deleted files from the MFT, but you will have to manage this.
