The most worlds most annoying thing just happened to me
I was just in the process of backing up a large music folder from one external drive onto another external drive and somehow it ended up in the trash bin and I seem to empty the trash bin on autopilot.
I haven't written over the drive they got deleted from and all the files seem to be found amongst thousands of files I actually intended to delete.
Are there any data recovery softwares that actually recover the folder structure and original file names so I can just scan - see the folder I want and restore it as it was in a few clicks without having files with no / improper names and having to sort through everything I deleted in the last few weeks or months. I could have a time the recovered files were deleted that could help me separate the ones I didn't mean to delete.
Any ideas?
I have Data Rescue 3 which finds the files - some have names - but there is about 30gb of music data and the folder I deleted had about 5gb in it.
Also tried Easeus Mac Undelete - same problem
I'm trying Stellar Phoenix 5 to see if that recovers with folders and names intact but it seems to be taking forever with no indication when it will stop.
Other options I have found and could try are:
Disk Drill
Wondershare Data Recovery
Please help,
Thanks
