Sometimes it isn’t good enough to simply delete a file. Sometimes we need to delete files forever. Most people are unaware that when they delete a file, the underlying data used to create that file is not deleted. In fact as long as that information is not overwritten with new file data such as a new photo or new document, the file itself can be reconstructed quite simply by using powerful data recovery software. Unfortunately that is exactly the opposite of what you may wish to accomplish when you hope to delete files forever.
To permanently erase files you will need to purchase a program known as a file shredder. A file shredder basically does the same thing with digital information that a paper shredder does with paper. It breaks down deep file information into tiny pieces and mixes them all up. Then it does this over and over again so many times that even the most powerful mathematical formula cannot decipher and reconstruct the data. Bear in mind that once you use a file shredder on a drive or partition you will never be able to recover deleted files from external hard drive storage on that drive.

Email recovery is one of the most common problems faced by both home and business computer users. Aside from the fact that every one of us occasionally deletes an email we had intended to keep, very often emails are lost through no fault of our own. In cases where one is using either Microsoft Outlook or the smaller Microsoft Outlook Express it seems there are almost as many ways for emails to become lost as there are to store them. Microsoft Outlook emails can be lost when the Outlook inbox size limitation of 2 GB is exceeded. Upgrading from one version of Microsoft Outlook to a newer one very often results in loss of archived messages.
Even the simple process of running an antivirus program over a download will often result in that message being corrupted. To recover accidentally deleted emails that were sent, received or stored using Microsoft Outlook, you will need a program for what is known as PST repair. Microsoft Outlook uses a special file for personal storage hence the name PST. When any of the above causes results in lost messages, you must use a program to repair the PST file thus restoring access to your emails.
The key to successful digital photo recovery is to make sure you purchase an image recovery program that will recognize all of the commonly used digital photo file types. It is really not sufficient to attempt to recover digital photos using a general purpose file recovery program. The reason for this is very simple. When you download digital photos from your camera or its memory card, the software usually converts your photographs into a popular image format such as a JPEG or JPG. As long as the transfer of information goes correctly, almost any data recovery program can be used to scan through your hard drive and locate these file types.
But when you discover after the download that many of your image files did not transfer or that major portions of those digital photographs are corrupted and hence grayed out, you must return to your digital camera’s storage and scan that media for the original file information. In most cameras this file information is stored using their proprietary format known as a RAW file. In order to recover these files you must purchase a program that specifically addresses the ability to find and recover them.

There probably exist 100 high quality data recovery programs that will enable you to rescue files lost on a Windows based personal computer. And while it is difficult to sort through these programs to find the fastest and most cost efficient software, it is reasonably simple to do. However, when dealing with Apple Mac computers, finding a program to recover Mac data is far more difficult. Why is this? Apple computers unlike PCs use a proprietary operating system designed only for them. While in general they store files in the same manner as a Windows based computer specifically there are certain application features that do not allow for quick searching and scanning of Mac hard drives as one might do on a PC.
Specifically the major roadblock that exists when wishing to perform partition recovery on Macs is the disk initialization and verification process. This is an extra step that Mac computers and the Mac OS X system use every time the system goes to store or retrieve a file. When a conventional data recovery program attempts to look through a hard drive that has been formatted using the Mac operating system, it is queried as to disc verification and basically blocks access to any and all files. For this reason one must purchase a program specifically designed for Mac data recovery, as these were developed to leapfrog over the disk verification process and allow one to copy out stored files.
