People usually freak out when they lose important files, after a virus attack or system errors. Fortunately, hope is not lost, thanks to how Windows handles files when you delete them. Instead of erasing the actual data from the disk, the system marks the space as free. This means that the data can be recovered and you can use Orion File Recovery for this purpose. The software can locate such data and salvage it.

Orion File Recovery is free to try, with some limitations. It comes in a small package and it can be installed quickly and effortlessly. It works on all modern Windows systems and it doesn't have any special requirements.

The main user interface has a fairly simple design. When the software discovers deleted files, it will list them directly on this interface, in the largest area. A wizard will help you make the necessary preparations, so you won't encounter any kind of difficulties. The software can look for any kind of file, but you can set it to look for specific files, like documents, images and so on. Furthermore, you can set it to look on the entire hard drive, in the Documents folder, Recycle Bin or in a folder of your choice.

As previously mentioned, deleted files are listed directly on the main user interface, once they are found. At this point, you can just select them and click a button to recover them to a location of your choice, preferably not on the same drive from which they were deleted.

Besides recovering files, the program can prevent this operation as well. It can scrub user-selected files or entire partitions. In other words, it overwrites the actual data on the disk, leaving nothing to be recovered.

With Orion File Recovery, lost data can be salvaged without any effort, so you won't have any reasons to panic.

Pros

The software can locate deleted data and it can recover it. Additionally, it can scrub your drives, to prevent the recovery of your files, if you actually want to get rid of sensitive data.

Cons

The setup wizard may install additional software on your computer, if you are not careful.
