Recover deleted files, Recycle Bin items, formatted drives, and USB data on Windows 10/11.
Refindo helps recover files from Windows 10/11 storage cases including accidental deletion, emptied Recycle Bin, quick format, RAW USB drives, NTFS volumes, SD cards, and external disks. Scan first, preview recoverable files, then restore selected data to a different destination.
Deleting a file on Windows usually removes the directory reference first. Recovery depends on whether the original data blocks remain available and have not been reused by new writes.
Windows may report a drive as RAW or ask to format it when the file system cannot be mounted. That does not always mean the old file data is gone.
Repair and format actions can write new metadata. If files matter, scan the current drive state before using tools that change the file system.
Quick Scan is best for recent deletion and preserved folders. Deep Scan is better for formatted, RAW, or damaged drives, though results may be grouped by file type.
Recover the most important files first, open them from the destination, then continue with larger folders after the source proves stable.
Yes. Refindo supports Windows 10/11 64-bit workflows for scanning supported drives and previewing recoverable deleted files.
Often, yes, if the original file data has not been overwritten. Scan the drive where the files were originally stored.
Refindo supports NTFS along with FAT32 and exFAT when the source device is readable by Windows.
A quick-formatted drive may still contain recoverable files if it has not been reused. Scan before copying new files to it.
If Windows can still detect the USB drive with the correct capacity, cancel the format prompt and scan it first.
Save recovered files to another drive or partition, not back to the same location being scanned.
No. SSD TRIM and overwrite activity can permanently clear deleted data. Scan promptly and avoid using the source drive.
Check recoverable files first, then decide whether to proceed with recovery.
