pedro civa Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Hello, I've used recuva to recover some unity .cs (c# scripts) files. All the files that had this comment seem to be corrupted. Can someone explain? Screenshots of an example of a 'corrupted' file.As you can see the header shows some random information, not code. https://gyazo.com/1e7a18d8c0efd71ebb75a214f4ed4754 https://gyazo.com/d29fa02a378b35be81a375b86f8009e6 Screenshots of a file that I was able to recover and use. https://gyazo.com/cf2559420ec972253a531758db92a769 https://gyazo.com/65e4951dbea1e193a6b173fb81aa2430 Thanks In advance. If its of any useful information, TRIMM is disabled. Edited October 27, 2020 by pedro civa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted October 27, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2020 In the first example the file's data is held in a separate cluster. In the second the data is held entirely within the MFT record for the file. The cluster can be overwritten by another file allocation, but the MFT record can't be overwritten until that record is reused. I don't know, of course, what has happened to the data cluster. It could have been reused by a temp file (internet search etc) which has been subsequently deleted. In any event the old data has almost certainly gone.
