iFileRecovery 5.2

Data may be lost due to many reasons, such as accidental deletion, software crashes, virus activity, power failure, unexpected shutdown, formatting and system installations. iFileRecovery can help you recover data and files from local and external drives. The application has a nice and intuitive interface. Although it seems to support several languages, only English is available. Unfortunately, the link to the online help is broken.

The complete recovery process is done in just a few uncomplicated steps. You will first need to select the drive to scan and wait until the software has found the deleted files. Moreover, you can use filters to find specific files. Then, you can pick the files you need to recover. Additional settings include selecting the path where the recovered files will be saved. For manual recovery of data by expert users, the program comes with a built-in hex editor.

In my opinion, iFileRecovery does not include anything that differentiates it from other tools of the same type. While it is true that it can retrieve your lost files effectively, it does not allow recovering a given folder structure; therefore, the needed data will usually be scrambled in a single folder. Perhaps one of the main advantages of this software is its small size (888k).
