After knowing that deleted data can be recovered, some users may worry about the

leakage of privacy included in deleted data. Well then, how to wipe data thoroughly from

hard disk? To solve this problem, we need a technology called Erase with which we can

erase a hard drive repeatedly and wipe original data thoroughly. Then, even

high-efficiency data recovery methods can not recover these data. However, Erase was

mainly used in military institution, political institution and other important institutions before.

Fortunately, with the unceasing development of software industry, this technology has

been applied to partition management software. For example, the "Wipe" function

of MiniTool Partition Wizard is used to erase a hard drive repeatedly, ensuring the safety

of deleted data. Next, let's go back to the first topic: how to recover deleted data.

How to recover deleted data?

We have talked that data deleted with common deleting operations can be recovered.

Well, how to recover deleted data? For these users who require extremely high computer

operability or users who have a basic understanding to data storage principle, they can

recover deleted data by altering file information table when facing simple deletion. User

can get relevant information about this method from the internet. However, it is difficult

and risky for common users to adopt this method. If users operate mistakenly, deleted

data may be damaged again or other data may be lost. Therefore, this method is not

recommended to common users. Today, data recovery software is advised to recover

deleted data, but not every piece of data recovery software is recommended. As the

current software industry is not very normative, there is much inferior software on the

market. If we use inferior data recovery software carelessly, more serious data loss may

happen, bringing greater losses. Therefore, users should pay much attention to safety

when selecting data recovery software. Furthermore, utility is a key factor we should care

about. I believe nobody is willing to download a piece of useless data recovery software

with costing a large amount of time. Considering these aspects, I strongly

recommend MiniTool Power Data Recovery.

Recover deleted data with MiniTool Power Data Recovery

MiniTool Power Data Recovery can realize multiple kinds of data recovery (of course, if

we erase a hard drive to wipe data, these data can not be recovered). For example,

this data recovery software can perfectly recover lost data caused by simple deleting,

formatting, virus attack, and partition loss. To recover lost data with this free data recovery

software, we should visit its official websitehttp://www.powerdatarecovery.com/ to

download it first. Then, install and run it:

In the main interface, "Undelete Recovery" module is specially used to recover deleted

data. Users just need to click this functional module, and then select the partition where

lost data are. Then, click "Recover" to look for deleted data. Next, please check the files

which need recovering. Next, click "Save Files" to accomplish deleted data recovery.

The above demonstration is a brief introduction to the functional module "Undelete

Recovery". If you want to know detailed information about other functional modules, you
