Recuva is an important program that can be used to recover files that have been "permanently" deleted from your windows computer. Today we will walk you through how to download, install, and recover your files using Recuva from CCleaner.

First, Download Recuva

When at the website click the "Download Free Version" button, then double click the downloaded file named rcsetup.exe.

Click the yellow "Install" button.

Uncheck the box that says "View release notes" and Click "Run Recuva".

Click "Next >".

Depending on your needs, this next selection will be different. For demonstration purposes, I will be selecting "I'm not sure". If you know where the file was deleted, you can select that option. Then Click the "Next >" button.

Now, after some time it will show a list of deleted files it found on your system. You can recover these files by checking the box next to each item and then clicking recover at the bottom. Some files, noted by a red light next to the name cannot be recovered by this software utility.
