Click the Recover button to find a place for them on your computer’s hard drive.

Then, right-click on a photo and choose Check Highlighted to mark every photo for recovery. If the software found a lot of files, note that checking each box can be a tedious task, so I recommend selecting the first photo, holding Shift, then selecting the last photo to highlight them all. In my case, it found about 13 deleted photos I’d taken for work a couple years ago, and I was able to recover all but one of them (which had probably been partially overwritten with new data at some point). Recuva will then present you with a list of files it found. The first time you go through, I recommend choosing Pictures on My Media Card or iPod, but you can choose All Files from All Drives if you prefer to catch everything humanly possible-it’ll just take longer. Recuva’s Wizard will attempt to make the scan a bit speedier by asking you what you’re looking for.
