Recuva is a free portable file recovery tool that can be installed to and run directly from a portable USB device. It enables the user to recover deleted files, including those deleted from a hard drive, flash card, mp3 player, recycle bin and more. The tool supports running from 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista and XP.
After having used the free version of this software several times to recover lost or deleted files, I strongly recommended anyone add this great tool to their portable USB flash drive collection. It is simple, intuitive, and most of the time, just works to restore lost files.
