SOLUTION: Where is Recuva saving my recovered images/files?

[Mrs Leal]

I accidentally deleted my raw files from my memory card. I installed the FREE version of Recuva and did a scan. I selected a folder on my C:/ drive for Recuva to save my recovered images. After the scan, Recuva found my files and everything looked great yet when I went to the folder to see my recovered files, nothing was there! After much research, I found that you are not supposed to save your recovered files to your C:/ drive. Instead, choose a different location such as an external drive to save your files. I redid the scan and this time saved to my external drive and voila! All of my recovered images were there! 

I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.
