Have you ever had that "oh no" moment after accidentally deleting some file permanently? Quite probably yes. We all face such moments. Recuva (pronounced recover) will recover that file for you, including those which have been deleted from the recycle bin.

Recuva is a free utility for Windows platform, used for restoring accidentally deleted files and folders. It starts a wizard that takes you through the recovery process. Recuva can also be made to restore deleted files manually.

This free application is from the makers of famous CCleaner, which deletes all the crap from your computer permanently. And Recuva won't be able to recover something after you have run CCleaner to get rid of unnecessary garbage, cookies and other traces (of crime).
