Recover deleted Files and Folders
This is one of the essential features of Active@ UNDLETE. To recover accidentally deleted files, simply scan the drive where they were deleted, then browse scan results in familiar Windows-explorer like browser, search and filter results, select required files and recover them to safe location.
