R-Undelete is a file recovery utility designed for Windows PC. It might prove to be of good use if you need to immediately restore files that were deleted by accident or lost after dealing with various types of system or hardware-related problems.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure you don't install the program on the drive you wish to analyze and restore data from. Then, all you need to do is to launch the tool, choose the scan location, and R-Undelete will start looking for lost or deleted data.
All found files are nicely organized based on their type. You can use the integrated search tool to immediately find the files you want to restore.
In my testing, I scanned a USB drive for lost files. It immediately completed the scanning process and allowed me to preview some of the found files (some files are way too damaged to be previewed). Also, unlike many other recovery tools, I was able to actually restore a lost file while using the trial version of the tool.
The only thing I didn't like was the appearance of the interface. It didn't strike me as a newly-created interface. Still, it was very intuitive. So, it doesn't matter that much, at least not to me.
Hence, R-Undelete proves to be a reliable solution for recovering lost data on your PC. It's efficient, easy-to-use, and works 100%.
