Did you delete a file only to realize moments later that you need it, and the file is no longer in the Recycle Bin, so you cannot restore it? If you answered “Yes” to that question, you need not sweat it. The file you deleted can still be brought back to life. You see, when you delete a file, it doesn’t really go away.

The operating system may tell you it’s gone, but the truth of the matter is that the file is still there. And will continue to be there until it is overwritten. Before it gets overwritten, you can use a specialized piece of software that brings it back to life. You could for example use the SoftPerfect Research-developed, the aptly named SoftPerfect File Recovery.

This application does what it’s name suggests – it recovers accidentally deleted files, files that used to be stored on your hard disk, on an USB flash drive, on an SD card, or on other storage media. SoftPerfect File Recovery will recover files from FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and NTFS5 formatted drives.

The great thing about SoftPerfect File Recovery is that it does not have to be installed. Simply download the application off the web and run the executable – you do not have to install anything. Which means SoftPerfect File Recovery is portable; you can put it on a portable storage device and take it with you wherever you go.

Before you go get SoftPerfect File Recovery and put it to the test, take a look at the technical details presented below:
Download – the download weighs in at 379KB, so it will complete in very little time (even if you are on a less than spectacular internet connection.
Supported OS – at the time of writing this and according to the developer, SoftPerfect File Recovery provides support for Windows 2000, 2003, 2008, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Limitations – there are no limitations. You can use SoftPerfect File Recovery free of charge for as long as you want since it is freeware.

SoftPerfect File Recovery is a free, easy to use, portable application that allows you to recover accidentally deleted files.
