I am searching for a software which can recover deleted Files from a Specific Folder. The software should work not just with standard file types like images, videos and other. I already tried AnyRecover, but it didn´t help. So I am searching for a similar software, where you can just select a specific folder to search and not whole HD.

  • You can't recover from a specific folder unless you have some sort of journaling/history, because the path information isn't a part of the file & so once deleted is no longer associated with the file. Unless partial directory information can be found, you will often not even get the file name.

  • @Tetsujin AnyRecover can at least find deleted files from some folder, but the problem there seems to be restoring the files.

  • If it can see a path, the the directory wasn't destroyed at that point. If it can't recover them, then the files were overwirtten & you need to go 'down a level' to recover - that would be directory & name info gone.

  • @Tetsujin no directory wasn destroyed, just 1 file there was deleted by accident. Now just need to restore exactly that 1 file.

For years now, my go-to has been Recouva.

I have tried others, but keep coming back. Try it. It's free and does the job extremely well

    Sorry, but does it recover files from a single folder or complete HD?

    Yes. You can recover explicitly form a single folder. Up to you if you make that folder "c:\ ", but you an also make it "C:\my\secret\folder". Please accept my apologies if my answers are a little sort these few days, but life things are happening. Try it; you won't regret it.
