When we lose an important file, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, we panic and don't know how to react. That's why we're going to recommend several useful and simple tools to recover them from Windows, Linux, or your mobile device.
MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free
We'll start with an application that, besides recovering lost data, recovers partitions that have become invisible on the disk. If you turn on your computer and a partition on your disk has disappeared, don't worry: with MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free you have a good chance of making the lost partition visible again and recovering the data stored in it.
The tool works simply: you select the disk where the partition is, and the app begins a slow but deep scan. When the scan finishes, it detects the partition or partitions on that drive. MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free is a free application (with a premium version) available for Windows 7 and later, in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Recuva
Recuva is a tool developed by the same programmers behind CCleaner or Defraggler to recover your lost files. Like CCleaner, Recuva is very easy to use and very effective. In most cases, Recuva will successfully recover deleted data from your computer. You can also use Recuva to recover files from USB drives or photos from your camera; you just need to change the drive to scan. Recuva is a free application available for Windows.
EaseUS Partition MobiSaver
With EaseUS Partition MobiSaver you can recover files and lost data from your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or from Apple's cloud and/or iTunes. With this tool you can recover photos, videos, contacts, messages, call history, calendar, and notes, among other things. Using EaseUS Partition MobiSaver is simple: you can do it by connecting your mobile device to the computer or by recovering data through the cloud. EaseUS Partition MobiSaver is a free application for non-commercial use.
GNU ddrescue
It's fairly common for a hard drive (internal or external) or a CD to have read errors, making it impossible to access the information inside. With GNU ddrescue you can rescue the disk and save that precious data. To use GNU ddrescue, you'll need to create a bootable USB containing the tool and scan the drive you can't access. The tool works automatically, and you can interrupt the process at any time and resume it from the same point.
If this selection leaves you wanting more, you can try other tools for recovering deleted files that we've recommended on NeoTeo: OSForensics, Undelete Plus, Digicam Photo Recovery, and Paragon Rescue Kit.
We hope that with one of the applications mentioned you can recover that long-awaited document that disappeared from your disk, partition, USB drive, or mobile device. It's important to understand, however, that these tools are not infallible and can sometimes fail.
