Ever deleted a doc file or another important file on accident and did not have a way to retrieve it? There is good news if you try to recover ASAP. As long as the hard disk does not write anything new to the area that contained the deleted file then it is possible to recover that file you didn't want to delete. Listed below are a few choices that we have tested in our labs. Both choices are good, but we preferred Handy Recovery because of it's easier to understand interface.
