Data loss due to accidental deletion of files and folders is a matter of worry; especially, when the deleted data comprises several sub-folders and thousands of valuable files.
This situation is often faced by both Mac and Windows OS users worldwide, and therefore demands a reliable solution that can help the users recover their deleted data… and a few manual data recovery methods and tools may help you retrieve the deleted files.
But a challenge with manual data recovery techniques and methods is that they may not help recover the deleted data entirely (especially for large volumes) and with original file names and folder structure.
Plus, the hassles with the manual procedure, process reliability, and data recovery speed, largely put manual techniques at a disadvantage vis-à-vis using a specialized data recovery software.
And therefore choosing a trustworthy data recovery software — one that can recover your deleted data with original filename and folder structures — is highly recommended.

Conclusion
Generic and manual data recovery methods may not work as expected when you need to recover a large volume of deleted folders and files. Also, a manual data recovery process will take longer and with typical hassles that arise after data recovery viz. the need to individually check, rename, and sort/segregate all the files.
To avoid this daunting task— eliminate the hassle of sorting through each file and renaming them— it is recommended to use a specialized data recovery tool that can recover your deleted files with the original file name.
The Stellar Data Recovery software serves this purpose by retrieving your accidentally deleted files for both Mac and Windows while keeping the original file name intact!
I accidentally deleted one of my official project. I don’t have a time machine, so I used your software. Finally, I recovered it in its original form.

Can you tell me..let’s suppose I deleted my desktop 30 MB different files unintentionally.. then I use different software to recover. But could not succeed..so technical new software data will take place of my deleted space. then technically an overwritten is done…in this situation can I recover my full data like excel word and pdf files. because every person tells me…if you don’t have any data recovery software installed in advance before deleting the data or if you overwrite it. then you cant recover the data forever??
Hi John, Here you can install the software on different machines or can make a bootable recovery drive. On that condition overwritten would not happen.

I have deleted one video file 2 years back. I can remember that I copied from one of my friends USB and then after watching I deleted the same day. I can remember the file name and location. Can it be recovered? Is this software free?
Hello Swapno,
If the file is not overwritten yet then you can recover it with Stellar Data Recovery software. The trial version shows a preview of all the recoverable files. Filename, creation date and size are the key identifiers for your file identification. You can give shot to the free trial to determine the recovery.
I need to recover specific folders & contents that were deleted after a specified date. Can this software do that? How?
Hi Alan,
First, you need to run Deep Scan (advanced scan) on your affected storage drive. After the scan completes you can preview the recoverable data and sort by creation date.

I wanted to test the truthfulness of this software, so I formatted a 2GB USB flash drive having only a movie of 800, but stellar data recovery (latest version) not only restored the video, along with other old files like photos, documents also recovered.
I knew one of the photo names well, and I remember its original name. So It seems so good than I thought.
