Watch this video tutorial for a quick overview of the key features and see how Uneraser™ makes deleted file recovery simple and straightforward. If a file is displayed correctly in the preview, it can be fully restored.
Recover deleted files and folders safely from virtually any storage device. The program supports major file systems, including FAT, exFAT, NTFS, ReFS, APFS, HFS+, Ext2/3/4, ReiserFS, XFS, and UFS. It works with desktop and laptop hard drives, SSDs, external drives, memory cards, USB flash drives, and selected digital cameras, audio players, and video players.
Accidentally deleted important files or folders from your PC or laptop? Uneraser™ can help you get them back. When Windows deletes a file, it usually does not erase the actual file contents right away - it simply marks the file record as deleted. The program detects these records and restores your files whenever recovery is still possible.
Restore files from formatted disks and partitions when the original data has not been overwritten. After a Quick Format in Windows, file contents may still remain on the drive, even though the file system appears empty. Uneraser™ performs a low-level scan to find recoverable files and restore them from the formatted storage device.
Deleted files from the Recycle Bin or removed them with Shift + Delete? Uneraser™ can help restore files that are still recoverable. Its content-aware search mode scans the entire storage device, detects deleted files by their signatures, and lets you preview them before saving the recovered data.
Lost access to your files after a virus attack, malware infection, system crash, or power outage? Uneraser™ can help restore data that remains recoverable on the storage device. Its low-level scan analyzes disk contents directly, helping locate files even when the file system is damaged or no longer accessible.
Combining powerful recovery technology with an affordable price, Uneraser™ is one of Hetman Software’s best-selling products. It uses reliable algorithms from our professional data recovery solutions, while focusing on the features everyday users need to restore deleted files quickly and easily.
Uneraser™ can recover a wide range of file formats, including documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, videos, audio files, archives, backups, source code, and virtual disk images.

High-capacity storage devices are common today, from 16 TB hard drives to 256 GB memory cards and beyond. However, scanning large devices for deleted files can take a significant amount of time.
What if you have already spent hours scanning a disk, but do not have enough time to finish the recovery process right away?
With Uneraser™, you can Save Analysis Information for the scanned device, load it later, and continue file recovery without starting the scan from the beginning.
The “Load Analysis Information” feature restores the previous scan results and displays the files available for recovery, so you can select the data you need and save it to a safe location.
To avoid overwriting recoverable data, we strongly recommend not saving any new files to the storage device you are trying to recover data from.
Recovering deleted files does not have to be complicated. Uneraser™ provides a clear, step-by-step wizard that guides you through the entire process. Select the disk with deleted files, click “Next,” and let the program scan the device. Once the analysis is complete, you can browse recoverable files in a familiar Windows Explorer-style interface and restore the data you need.
Preview recoverable files before saving them. Uneraser™ lets you open deleted documents, images, videos, archives, backups, emails, text files, HTML files, and many other formats directly in the program. This helps you confirm that the files are intact and choose exactly what you want to restore. Advanced users can also inspect file data with the built-in HEX viewer and check the physical location of each recoverable file on the disk.
Behind its simple interface, Uneraser™ uses a powerful combined recovery algorithm. The program combines fast file system analysis with deep content-aware scanning to help recover deleted files in both simple and complex data loss scenarios.
Fast Scan quickly reads file system records and shows recently deleted files within moments. It is the best option for files removed by mistake, deleted with Shift + Delete, or cleared from the Recycle Bin.
When Fast Scan is not enough, Full Analysis scans the entire storage device and searches for files by their unique signatures. This allows Uneraser™ to locate recoverable documents, photos, videos, archives, emails, databases, and other data even after formatting or file system damage, as long as the original file contents have not been overwritten.
Uneraser™ is designed with data safety in mind. The program uses read-only access when analyzing storage media, so it does not modify the source disk or overwrite recoverable data. To avoid accidental data loss, do not save new files to the device you are trying to recover from. Install and run Uneraser™ from a different disk or partition, and save recovered files to a separate storage device.
For maximum safety, you can create a disk image and recover files from that image instead of scanning the original device directly. A sector-by-sector image preserves the current state of the storage device, reduces the number of read operations on unstable media, and helps minimize the risk of additional failure when working with damaged drives.
To keep your data safe, always save recovered files to a different disk, partition, or drive letter. This helps prevent recoverable data from being overwritten. If you do not have enough free space on the current computer, Uneraser™ provides a convenient recovery wizard that lets you choose where and how to save the restored files.
The program supports several saving options. You can save recovered files to any local or remote disk, burn them to a CD or DVD with the built-in disc burner, or upload them to a remote server via FTP. You can also save all recovered files into a single folder or recreate the original folder structure.
Uneraser™ runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it easy to recover deleted files on the operating system you already use.

Are there any limitations regarding the size of files that can be recovered after removal?
In general, there are no limitations to the size of files for recovery, but in practice such limitations may emerge due to certain factors:
- File system: Some file systems have a file size limitation. For example, FAT32 limits the maximum file size to 4 GB.
- Disk condition and file fragmentation: If the file is very fragmented or its parts have been overwritten with new data, its recovery can be complicated or even impossible regardless of its size.
- Disk space: Recovering large files may require a lot of free space on the disk or another storage device to save the recovered data.
-
The flash drive size is displayed incorrectly, a few megabytes only. What should I do?
If the size of a disk (USB pen drive or another external device) is displayed as several kilobytes or megabytes, it may signal certain memory issues. Such error often appears because of trouble with the disk’s microcontroller.
You can try the following to solve this problem:
- Using specialized utilities provided by the manufacturer. Many SSD and flash drive manufacturers offer special utilities to recover and repair their devices. For example, Transcend, Kingston, SanDisk and others have their own software for diagnostics and repairs.
- Formatting the drive: If the data doesn’t matter or you have already saved it, try formatting the drive with the Command Prompt (diskpart).
- Using specialized software to perform low-level formatting. For example, HDD Low Level Format Tool lets you perform low-level drive formatting which can help you solve microcontroller issues.

How can I recover data from a disk that needs initialization?
When a hard disk is connected to a computer or laptop, Windows may ask to initialize it.
- Do not initialize the disk: If the operating system suggests initializing the disk, don’t do it, since it can cause a data loss.
- Check the connection: Make sure that the disk is properly connected to the computer. The issue may be caused by cables or ports.
- Use Hetman Uneraser: this tool can recover data from damaged or non-readable disks provided that such disks do not have critical mechanical damage.
-
How can I recover data from a disk that can’t be read by the operating system?
For instance, Hetman Uneraser can recover data from damaged or non-readable disks provided that such disks do not have critical mechanical damage.
A disk that can’t be read by the operating system may not be displayed in This PC folder because of certain logical damage. In this case, the recovery tool performs a deep analysis of the file system, which allows to locate lost or damaged files even on devices with damaged or missing file system.
This tool can work with devices that have logical damage (for example, file system issues, partition table errors), as well as with devices that have only slight physical damage.
-
Where exactly on the disk are kept the files sent to Windows Recycle Bin?
Files sent to Windows Recycle Bin are usually located in the special folder on the system disk:
1. The path to Windows Recycle Bin folder:
- C:\$Recycle.Bin
2. Contents of the Recycle Bin folder:
- In the folder $Recycle.Bin, you can see subfolders with the names in the SID (Security Identifier) format. For example, S-1-5-21-1234567890-1234567890-1234567890-1001.
- Each of these subfolders corresponds to one of the users of this computer.
3. Access the contents:
- To view Windows Recycle Bin contents you need to have administrator’s rights. Some files in the Bin can be protected against modification or removal.
