I accidentally deleted 586 mp3's (from 347 different sub-folders) this afternoon, thinking I was simply removing the files from a playlist when in fact I was (unwittingly) deleting them from my hard drive. I just wanted to thank the OP for his most helpful post. Hopefully, someone may find this info useful. Why this worked when mult-recover didn't, I don't know.īecause I did the recover immediately after my slip up, I expected everything to be easily recoverable, and everything was, but only when I recovered them a small section at a time. I decided to deselect all, and to check and recover one album at a time.īingo! Using this one at a time method, I recovered every album with every track intact.
I recovered all albums, but most of them were missing quite a few tracks. Scanned again, and now I had my music folder, and a list of albums containing tracks. Try again.Ĭhanged the view mode in Options to "Tree View", and under "Actions\Recovering", checked "Restore Folder Structure". I only managed to get back about two thirds of the tracks, and they were all over the place order wise. I intended to delete 2 albums I'd grown tired of, but a slip of the mouse and before I knew it I had block shift\deleted 35 albums from my partition.įired up Recuva and scanned, and every single track showed up, so I selected them all and pressed "Recover", saving them to my other partition.
I've never had cause to use Recuva until one day last week when my bad, well ingrained habit of using shift\delete, jumped up and bit me very firmly on the bum. I thought I might just pass on this info, which may or may not help anyone trying to get back recently deleted files.
