"Deleted File" Recovery Rating
When searching for a "Deleted
File", Recover My Photos reads the File Allocation Table
(FAT) or Master File Table (MFT) to determine if the space used by the
deleted file is being occupied by other active files. As only one file
can occupy a storage space at any one time, if this happens the deleted
file has been overwritten, or partially overwritten, and that part of
the deleted file has been destroyed.
The rating system is as follows:
Overwritten: The original file
has been completely overwritten and cannot be recovered.
Poor: the search indicates that
between 1% and 50% of the file can be recovered.
Medium: the search indicates
that between 51% and 90% of the file can be recovered.
Good: the search indicates that
between 91% and 99% of the file can be recovered.
Very Good: the complete file
can be recovered.
Whilst this rating system is a good indication of the chance of recovery,
a preview of your file, if available, is the definitive way to determine
if your file can be recovered. Click on the file in the results window
to determine if the contents can be displayed.
