How to recover deleted files from hard drive using Data Recovery Wizard

Step 1. Downloading the program on a PC

Advice. Stop all file operations right after you find out that the data stored on a hard drive has disappeared. If files disappear from an external hard drive, disconnect it from your PC. If they disappear from an ordinary HDD, try not to work on that PC until file recovery or at least don't write anything on the partition with deleted files. This will prevent overwriting of data.

You can download this software for both Windows and Mac OS and its functionality is the same.

Step 3. Scanning a hard drive

There are 2 stages of HDD scanning in EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard: quick and deep scan. The progress is displayed in the program sidebar.

As the scanning progresses the results are also available; they can be sorted and viewed, but only if the files are successfully recovered. All data is filtered according to its type: graphics, documents, video and etc. Thus, it's possible to fully operate the program while it scans.

For the best results, wait till the end of scanning. It may take from several minutes to an hour, depending on the size of your hard drive.

Step 4. Recovering search results

You need to select the file types or separate items on your computer to recover files from hard disk. After marking them in check boxes, click "Recover" button.

It's better to choose as the place of storage an external hard drive, flash drive, Dropbox cloud or, if there is no other way, hard drive partition from which no files were deleted.

Don't forget that EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard free version allows to recover only 2GB of data. There are no other limitations.
