Overview of the Scan Result

After the scan completes, you will be presented with a detailed scan result, where you can take some time to filter the files you want to recover. 
 

What kind of files does each folder contain?

Deleted Files

Files found through quick scan. Those files generally come with original names and folders but probably cannot be opened due to the folder structure or file corruption.

Other Lost Files”→"Files Lost Original Name”

Files found through advanced scan. Those files generally lose their original names but the contents are still intact and more likely to be opened.

Tags

Files found through advanced scan. Those files are listed by device model and user info. For example. The camera folder will show you a list of photos that are shoot by different camera brands. The Artist folder will show you a list of the songs by different singers. And the PDF, PTT, Excel, Word folders will show you a list of different users created those documents.

How to Search for Your Need Files

1. Using the search box properly can save you a lot of time on filtering the files from the massive file folders. If you know the name of the files you are looking for, you can type in any keywords combination to display all the files that are associated with these keywords only. Or you can directly check the sub folders listed under “Deleted Files” to see if you can find the missing files you want. If there is no luck to find the right files or no luck to open the files, which means that those files are not recoverable with the original names and folders. In such a case, the best result you can get is to recover the content of the files without the names/folders.

2. Although the file lose its original name, but the file size would still be the same. Thus, we can try to locate the files in another way: Input the file extension in the search box and it will give you a result that associated with that file type. List the those found files by size and be focus on the missing file with the same size as the one you were not able to be opened from the previous folder.

3. If that file is still not opened, please go through the files in “Tags” folder. Those files are reorganized by our software after scanning the device information on the disk. You will see the files in different types more intuitively.

 
4. If the files under “Tags” are not recoverable, then please go through the files in “File Lost Original Name”.

5. The File Filter option will also be helpful. For example, you can choose to display the file by last modification date, type or size.​
