Recover deleted files/partitions. Even recover files from formatted drives.

There are many file recovery tools out there today but most of them cost a pretty penny. With Puran File Recovery, you get access to some pretty good undelete tools which can help you recover files that have been deleted.

Puran File Recovery provides some tools for scanning for deleted data like being able to choose the partition as well as scanning RAW and entire hard drives. All of these scans are performed without too much stress on the system.

It supports most types of internal and external drives like USB HDDs, internal hard drives, SSD drives, memory cards, etc.

Scanning options also provide the ability to search only for certain types of files. Puran File Recovery recognizes around 50 different types of files for special handling, but that doesn't mean other file types are not supported.

The program interface of Puran File Recovery is easy-to-understand and provides an tree-style interface that is similar to Windows Explorer. From it, you can select which files you wish to recover and if there's just too much there for you to process, Puran also provides a search tool which can find the file you're looking for.

After the scan has finished, the listing of recoverable files includes the file size, file path and the condition in which the file is. The condition really tells you how likely it is to recover the entire file; it can range from "Excellent" to "Poor". For image files, a preview appears in the right-hand panel.

Once you've found the files you want to recover, all it takes is a couple of clicks and hitting the "Recover" button.

Even though Puran File Recovery may sometimes be hit and miss, its well designed user interface, efficiency and ease-of-use make it a great little tool for recovering lost and deleted files.
