@@cleverfiles hi , is there a way while using Disk Drill to select multiple tracks at once when it comes to Audio like iTunes Library does ? or do you unfortunately have to manually select so many at a time ?? because i only have 118G of disk space .
Hi there! We apologize for any confusion around that. Disk Drill Basic gives you all the functions of data protection and scanning so that you can see which files can be recovered by the premium version.

@@cleverfiles Yeah but like, there was no message to say you have to pay, just a big Free Download button. Would've saved a lot more time if we knew we had to pay, before spending a lot of time waiting for the deep scan to finish.
I cant thank you enough for this video. my external hard drive stopped working in 2018 and after trying everything else this was the only method that worked. Your a life saver.
Am sory! Am not very good at understanding when a person is talking faster. Can you help me just by writting the steps to follow here down from the beginning? Coz i have been in problem with this challenge for so long now. I need to recover and use my lost files from my flash disc. Thanks! Waiting for your help bro!
Not free but worth the payment. Huge thanks to the uploader for this video. The interface and options have changed since this video was created but it doesn't matter, it clearly defaults to the best recovery methods now instead of you having to choose them. Disk Drill not only managed to recover EVERY SINGLE FILE from my disk that I accidentally screwed up and had become RAW according to Windows, but incredibly it also managed to maintain the original FOLDER structure! In other words the end result was as though nothing had ever happened, it was a perfect rescue. It is a truly magnificent piece of software, even if you're in that awful panicked state with your disk and it seems nothing will fix it.
I'm excited to give this a try! My boyfriend found an old external hard drive and he doesn't remember what's on it and wanted me to see if I could pull any/all of the data off. Thank you for the video and knowledge!
@@leahcim1436 1 free program would recover files but I knew some were corrupt so I found one that wouldn't let me recover for free but it showed which files were corrupted.
Yesterday i used easeUS data recovery and selected my drive and let it scan and it found all of my files on my drive that i couldnt open and said that it needed to be formatted. I saved the recovery file on my desktop because it asked me to pay €60 to recover the files or enter a license code. Then i went to sleep and today i wanted to reopen the file again but now it says scan session might be corrupted. And the drive doesnt show up anywhere anymore only in my device management it shows the drive. In disk management it says that the disk isnt initialised. Please i need help because it had 100 gb of important files on it.
@@DK-vx5co software screwed me. Luckily i had all the files backed up on an old laptop but the harddrive that i tried to recover the files from is completely corrupt
@@Patrick-fz8ee Thanks. This is my worry. All they lose is a sale, but we lose data. Before some cheap over-promising software screws me I'll probably go with a software recovery service that is highly rated.
I used 94hours to scan almost 500GB files include photos and videos, tks for your video and helping hand, successful finally and paid for the pro version.
OMGGGG!!! YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!! I literally deleted all my vlogs video on accident recently, until I saw your video for help!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! P.S. I have a Mac, so it works well also!
Thznks a lot! I was helping my cousin fix his iphone today and he needed a flash drive. Not knowing that he needed a empty one, it formatted my flash drive and deleted everything completely. I'm glad I came cross this and I may have to purchase the upgraded version to get the rest of my stuff, but thanks again!
You are a life saver! literally saved over $500 that they were charging me to retrieve my files! Also I had already written over the files and still recovered them!! YOU THE MAN!!

Just to say thank you so much - I used this app yesterday to recover ALL of my photos from 2007 onwards - to say I am grateful is a major understatement - I was in panic and very upset by accidentally deleting my photos and nearly accepted my fate - however a quick google/youtube search saved me - £84 to recover nearly a terabyte of data is well worth it as these photos were our family history from when my first child was born - amazing!!!

On a Mac: - If the External is unreadable and shows in the Disk Utility then would it be better to back-up the drive with bad sectors or scan first? - And do you use Recover after scanning the whole drive or can be done as you see files available? - How much time do you think a full 2.5TB drive should take for scan?

@@Poa2024 im prety sure this does it :).. for this program probably easyer to get back files what you deleted from recycle bin, than files what just dissaperaed when hdd got damaged or smt :)
@@roadbong actually it didn't work for me since it got overrite already like i deleted my files 3 months ago and i was still using windows 10 at that time. i installed this software when im windows 11 already.. i did deep scan in all files couldn't find my old ones anymore ::(
@@Poa2024 hi man, sad to hear this. But do i understand right, that you have windows 11 installed on this hard drive, where you want recover files ? If i understand right and you have windows in same tisk, then you must install windows to another drive, then insert this HDD to computer(hdd where you need recover files) and then start scan it. Also you need to have atleast same amount free space on your computer, what have in that HDD where you need recover files. Example if your HDD where you need to recover files, are 500GB, then would be best if you have 500+GB free space on your pc, because otherwise program cannot recover files, because just dont have free space. And use definetly deep scan and scan full HDD, not just partition. Its probably will not show you folders as they was in your compuiter when you deleted/lost them, but files will be in folders, by file types. Example, all pictures in one folder, all videos in one folder etc - i just used it today and this way it worked good, just needed later search pictures i needed to find, but i got all as needed :) i hope you get it work :) Also, i used this program today and its really good program, worked as need.

Unfortunately after recovering the lost files I am unable to use the external hard drive again. The external drive we restored files from is pretty much useless right now. This is information you need to include in the video, so that consumers you know what they are getting themselves into.
Hi Nana, please make sure to check the 3 dots next to the Drive then verify that the Drive is not in Read Only mode, this is the most common issue, as you will need to revert it back to Writeable.

@@staciekeener1994 Hi Stacie, yes I did (although I’m still tidying up some of the data!). I purchased disk drill which recovered about 4tb from a 1tb hard drive... difficult to wrap my head around that, but essentially disk drill recovered lots of duplicate files. You’ll need to get hold of another external hard drive to move all your recovered files to. You’ll then have to tidy up the files as there will be lots of duplicates hidden away in different folders (I did anyway!). It was a really stressful time but disk drill should be able to recover everything for you! This experience has actually made me really tidy up my files and I’m also in the process of backing up in the cloud too. Good luck! :-)
I've been looking for a program or tutorial for "scraping" data (not backup files or programs) off an accumulation of disk drives (both HD, SSD and flash drives) to "bulk" deposit (whether moving or copying) to one large hard drive to run a de-duplication program and sort old from new, and organize old data photo, xls, pdf, photos, document & video etc. data. Any hints, tips mor suggestions?
Hi there! Sorry to hear about that. The only way to verify your files recoverability is to download Disk Drill Basic, run the scan, and preview the file(s) in question. If you managed to preview the file you needed to recover in a basic version, please email us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance. No preview just means that the file might be damaged or corrupt, it can be recovered, but it might need to be repaired.

I followed all the tutorial but my review files dont show me anything. It recovered apporixametly 219 Gb but i dont know exactly what files they are. One night when my laptop was downloading updates around 3am a box appeared and i did not read it as i assumed it wanted to restart my Laptop and I clicked Yes on only to wake up to a complete reset, like factory. So all my apps, files, photos, etc. were gone. So now im at the $89 Pro Disk Drill and i dont know what to do. Is there some way i can be able to see whats being restored thats not showing, as in double file copies. I dont know if this makes any sense. Please advise. Thank you

@@cleverfiles Yeah but like, there was no message to say you have to pay, just a big Free Download button. Would've saved a lot more time if we knew we had to pay, before spending a lot of time waiting for the deep scan to finish.
Wasted 4 hours too!!
@@KoolKidYanno he talked about this in the video... he said that you can recover 500 MB with the free version..
Wasted my 15 hours. 🤕
I cant thank you enough for this video. my external hard drive stopped working in 2018 and after trying everything else this was the only method that worked. Your a life saver.
Glad I could help to recover your data
Am sory! Am not very good at understanding when a person is talking faster. Can you help me just by writting the steps to follow here down from the beginning? Coz i have been in problem with this challenge for so long now. I need to recover and use my lost files from my flash disc. Thanks! Waiting for your help bro!
Not free but worth the payment. Huge thanks to the uploader for this video. The interface and options have changed since this video was created but it doesn't matter, it clearly defaults to the best recovery methods now instead of you having to choose them.
Disk Drill not only managed to recover EVERY SINGLE FILE from my disk that I accidentally screwed up and had become RAW according to Windows, but incredibly it also managed to maintain the original FOLDER structure! In other words the end result was as though nothing had ever happened, it was a perfect rescue.
It is a truly magnificent piece of software, even if you're in that awful panicked state with your disk and it seems nothing will fix it.
Thank you for your feedback!
@@cleverfiles thank u bro u saved my life
I'm excited to give this a try! My boyfriend found an old external hard drive and he doesn't remember what's on it and wanted me to see if I could pull any/all of the data off. Thank you for the video and knowledge!
Good luck!!
Oh man you saved me!
It was expensive but worth it, some files was damaged unfortunately but I got like 80% back 👍🏼
It was worth the money definitely.
Great to hear!

Yesterday i used easeUS data recovery and selected my drive and let it scan and it found all of my files on my drive that i couldnt open and said that it needed to be formatted. I saved the recovery file on my desktop because it asked me to pay €60 to recover the files or enter a license code.
Then i went to sleep and today i wanted to reopen the file again but now it says scan session might be corrupted. And the drive doesnt show up anywhere anymore only in my device management it shows the drive. In disk management it says that the disk isnt initialised. Please i need help because it had 100 gb of important files on it.

Hello does it also recover a file that was deleted and was emptied in recycle bin?
@@Poa2024 im prety sure this does it :).. for this program probably easyer to get back files what you deleted from recycle bin, than files what just dissaperaed when hdd got damaged or smt :)
@@roadbong actually it didn't work for me since it got overrite already like i deleted my files 3 months ago and i was still using windows 10 at that time. i installed this software when im windows 11 already.. i did deep scan in all files couldn't find my old ones anymore ::(
@@Poa2024 hi man, sad to hear this.
But do i understand right, that you have windows 11 installed on this hard drive, where you want recover files ?
If i understand right and you have windows in same tisk, then you must install windows to another drive, then insert this HDD to computer(hdd where you need recover files) and then start scan it.
Also you need to have atleast same amount free space on your computer, what have in that HDD where you need recover files.
Example if your HDD where you need to recover files, are 500GB, then would be best if you have 500+GB free space on your pc, because otherwise program cannot recover files, because just dont have free space.
And use definetly deep scan and scan full HDD, not just partition. Its probably will not show you folders as they was in your compuiter when you deleted/lost them, but files will be in folders, by file types.
Example, all pictures in one folder, all videos in one folder etc - i just used it today and this way it worked good, just needed later search pictures i needed to find, but i got all as needed :)
i hope you get it work :)
Also, i used this program today and its really good program, worked as need.

Richard, did you ever figure this out? I am dealing with this right now and can't find answers
@@staciekeener1994 Hi Stacie, yes I did (although I’m still tidying up some of the data!). I purchased disk drill which recovered about 4tb from a 1tb hard drive... difficult to wrap my head around that, but essentially disk drill recovered lots of duplicate files. You’ll need to get hold of another external hard drive to move all your recovered files to. You’ll then have to tidy up the files as there will be lots of duplicates hidden away in different folders (I did anyway!). It was a really stressful time but disk drill should be able to recover everything for you! This experience has actually made me really tidy up my files and I’m also in the process of backing up in the cloud too. Good luck! :-)
I've been looking for a program or tutorial for "scraping" data (not backup files or programs) off an accumulation of disk drives (both HD, SSD and flash drives) to "bulk" deposit (whether moving or copying) to one large hard drive to run a de-duplication program and sort old from new, and organize old data photo, xls, pdf, photos, document & video etc. data. Any hints, tips mor suggestions?
If the files are recoverable but not reviewable, what is the next step we should take?
Hi there! Sorry to hear about that. The only way to verify your files recoverability is to download Disk Drill Basic, run the scan, and preview the file(s) in question.

Hi. Can I scan just one folder instead of the whole drive in order to find the deleted file? I know the folder in which the deleted file was located so I believe it would not be necessary to scan the whole drive (1TB)
Hello, we are sorry about that. You need to scan the entire drive to locate the lost files. Then you can do a search or filter for the file you need.
even with the link its asking me to buy the upgraded version, do i have to even with using the link you provided?

I followed all the tutorial but my review files dont show me anything. It recovered apporixametly 219 Gb but i dont know exactly what files they are. One night when my laptop was downloading updates around 3am a box appeared and i did not read it as i assumed it wanted to restart my Laptop and I clicked Yes on only to wake up to a complete reset, like factory. So all my apps, files, photos, etc. were gone. So now im at the
$89 Pro Disk Drill and i dont know what to do. Is there some way i can be able to see whats being restored thats not showing, as in double file copies. I dont know if this makes any sense. Please advise. Thank you

Hello, I had a folder in the same hard drive you are holding, called 2021 - but guess what suddenly all disappeared - I did not delete. Yet I went to the bin ( talking about Macbook Pro) and I tried to retrieve - but nothing was the same - I am in a big miss - all my financial folders for example, or jobs or .. all with love were gone :)

Hello. I'm currently recovering my files from my 1tb hard drive. I'd like to ask where to find the file if it was situated at the desktop in the first place?

I'm scanning a 3TB external hdd which I accidentally quickformatted. I have not overwritten anything on it. Total scan hours is about 19 hours which I am fine with. However, after 5 hours, it is still displaying 0 files found. Is this normal? Will the files be found in the later stages of scanning?
Sorry to hear about that. Scan duration depends on many factors, including Health and size of the Drive. We're happy to investigate this further. Please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com
My external drive doesnt show up on this, i can see it on the Device Manager, but not on Disk Drill and it doesnt open on its own, nor when i try to do anything

Thank you! And off topic. Where did you get that cool lamp!?
It worked , thank you so much Cleverfiles. Love from India❤
Just a question, what will happen if you save the recovered data back to the same hard drive? I mean I already have my hard drive repaired by an IT, but is it bad to save it back to the same hard drive?
Hi there, when you recover your files, it's extremely important to select a destination different from the location where you lost the file to save the retrieved directory. Otherwise, the files may be overwritten.
wondering how to do this with a windows tablet. obviously we start by using a seperate computer. but do we have to take the tablet apart? or can i just stick a sub cable into the usb port?
