FileWing 2.6

Sometimes, you may need to recover the files you erased before. In other occasions, important files are accidentally lost. Therefore, it becomes necessary to use a file recovery tool. However, someone else could do the same by using software intended to recover deleted files with sensitive information. In order to avoid these threats, you can decide to delete selected files permanently. FileWing can help you recover and delete files.

The program has an intuitive wizard-like interface, which is available in multiple languages. The starting wizard has two main branches. Thus, you can choose to either scan the disks to find the deleted files you want to restore or proceed to erase given files or whole drives. The only action we should take for successful file recovery is to select the containing folder, while the program takes care of the rest for you. If you choose to perform a secure deletion, you can pick one out of seven algorithms with different numbers of overwrite passes and encryption algorithms.

In general, FileWing is a great free tool, whose friendly interface hides powerful code. However, it has its limitations. It cannot shred free disk space or format drives to make their data irrecoverable. If you need to use such functions, you should buy the commercial version of the software, called FileWing Pro.
