Recover Deleted Files from Digital Cameras, MP3 Players and USB drives

There are various free utilities that can recover files accidentally deleted from hard drives but I've long searching for something that works with files accidentally deleted from flash memory in digital cameras, MP3 players or USB drives.
Recuva is a free utility from the makers of the highly regarded CCleaner. Not only does it recover files deleted from flash memory it also works for hard drives as well.Recuva of course cannot undelete files that have been written over or are stored in physically damaged sectors. However its ideal for recovering those precious holiday photos immediately after you accidentally erased them. Free for Windows 98-Vista.


"Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!"
