Four ways to find your files
Pick the right approach for your situation. Each one is fast, accurate, and safe.
Quick Scan
Reads NTFS/FAT metadata directly. Fastest — best for recently deleted files.
Recycle Bin
Scans $Recycle.Bin for files moved to trash. 100% recoverable when present.
Deep Scan
Carves files by signature. 40+ formats. Works even when the filesystem is broken.
Shadow Copies
Lists Windows VSS snapshots. Recover files from a point before deletion.
Watch the scan
happen in real time.
The MFT scanner processes 600,000+ records per second on a typical SSD. You see the deleted-file count climb as RecoverX walks the filesystem index. ETA, progress bar, and live counters update continuously.
- Cancel anytime — no partial state to clean up
- Folder filter scans seconds instead of minutes
- Progress is informational; recovery is the next step
