How to recover moved (cut) files from a disk?
When files are deleted/cut from their original location, they are only marked as potential free space for writing. The files are still there until they're overwritten by something else.
Here's some recovery software that helps in cases like these:
- Recouva (a freebie)
- Directory Snoop (trial, then paid)
- SpinRite (paid only)
- OnTrack EasyRecovery (trial, then paid)
The pasted copies...well, if those are corrupted, there are some recovery tools that can help, depending on the filetype and damage done to the file.
- DocRepair
- OfficeRecover
