However, there are some situations in which Recuva can not find back the lost information. If you have permanently delete temporary files using CCleaner with the option Secure file deletion (Slower) is turned on, the files can not be retrieved. Recuva can not find the file again after programs like CCleaner or Eraser is used to clean up disk space or if Windows has overwrite the memory space previously used. Recuva also can not repair damaged documents or files.

Pros
Wizard: The Recuva Wizard dialog let us scan All Files or just Pictures, Music, Documents, Video, Compressed, or Emails. We could also scan by File Location ranging from "I'm not sure" to CD/DVD and enable the Deep Scan option.
Context menu integration: The Advanced Options include adding "Scan for deleted files" to Explorer and Recycle Bin context menus.
Portable version: Recuva includes a fully portable version that fits on a USB drive. It runs without an installer, so it can find and recover files in damaged systems.
Cons
Advanced Mode switchback: The Advanced Mode shows file paths, info, and headers in a list view instead of thumbnails, which is fine, except there's no way to toggle back to the normal view.
Online help file: Recuva's Web-based Help file supposedly keeps the download smaller, but including a Help file would take up less space than the portable version that's supposedly useful when Internet connections are down. To us, that seems like a good time to have a local copy of the Help file.
