Work with scan results
What is the !Lost & Found! folder?
The !Lost & Found! folder contains files and folders that have no parent directory (parent folder was deleted and its entry was overwritten).
What is the best way to find my deleted data after Drive Scan completes?
Almost all files (in NTFS) may change their primary location after the Delete operation completes. The reason for it is the lost connection with parent ID attribute.
After the scanning process is complete the deleted files can be found in the
!Lost&Found! folder.
We advise you to use one of the following tools to organize your scan results and
proceed to actual file recovery:
- File Filter bar Using this tool in different views you can filter out
files by their attributes and by name masks. File Filter bar can be used in Recovery
Explorer view, Document view or Search Results view;
- Search — you can search selected drive or folder for files or folders
providing certain criteria, such as file mask, recovery status, date, size range or
file attributes. See application manual for details;
- File Preview — special panel view, that allow to preview scrolled files
before actual recovery.
