Data isn't really lost even if it gets deleted, accidentally or purposefully. Tools specialized in data recovery are common nowadays, and they seem to be fairly efficient when it comes to retrieving lost files. If you need specific files from your drive or other storage devices, CAT Data Recovery might help you get them back.

When it launches, the application detects all your active drives. Notice that the partitions are listed under the Recover Files category. There are three categories in total, and they control what type of data is recovered. Besides recovering files, you can also recover photos only, or an entire partition.

Splitting the process between three segments seems like a time-saving aspect, as the app surfaces the type of files you are interested in (e.g, photos/images).

To start the recovery process, you have to select a partition and click on Scan. After the scanning is over, all the found data is displayed along with several filters that help you pin-point the files you are looking for.

Furthermore, if you had no success with the first scan, you can attempt a Deep Scan. This type of scanning takes a little longer as it has to go more in-depth, but it will find your files, unless a high-end shredder was used to delete them.

In case your USB flash drive or SD card got formatted before saving the data, you can connect them to your PC and give them a scan. CAT Data Recovery sports a powerful scan engine that allows you to easily retrieve files from healthy or corrupted storage mediums.

CAT Data Recovery looks like an intuitive and complete solution for file recovery, as you can scan and retrieve lost data from local partitions, as well as from external storage devices, corrupted or not.
