File Recovery

Whenever I do data recovery (deleted files recovery) the files are nearly always corrupt, even when the software says the condition is ‘good’ or ‘excellent’. I know how the deletion process works and how after a certain time the data is bound to be overwritten, but these were files I deleted 10 minutes before recovery. Any ideas?
Answer #1
Try GetDataBack 3.66_FAT-NTFS..It does a good job…
Answer #2
what recovery app are you using? I’ve had good success with Power Data Recovery.
10 mins doesn’t really mean anything, lots of data can be overwritten in 10 mins. installing data recovery apps on the drive you are trying to recover can potentially overwrite the data and give corrupt files.
