Recovery "Download" folder in /home partition
Hello,
I need your helps dear members :( I'm facing a big problem, yesterday I deleted by mistake the download folder in my home folder (partition). It contains very important data (more then 100GB) and I need to recovery it. The problem is I don't want to use photorec because it restore all deleted data on the partition with unknown names and also because I formatted my hdd several times so the last time I run photorec it recover huge amount of data I don't know from where lol plus I had to open every document and video to know its contents (over 120000 documents and video) :cry: I removed my HDD as soon as I realized that I deleted the folder. So my question now is : Is it possible to recover this specific folder (which is the Download folder) with the data it contains with a specific software ? if yes, how ? Thank you :D PS: I have a 1T external hdd so I can recover my files on it (if I could :P) |

But photorec recover over 250000 files .... and I only 100 files in the download folder !!
I can't manage all these files it will take too much time especially they don't have specific name :\ Is there any option in photorec to limit recovery to specific date or size ? So it recover only files deleted on this date or larger then 200mb for example ? |
Recover all of it - then you get to pick through the results based on size, date, ...

Photorec is pretty much self-explanatory, but you can have a look here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step

http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step Did you not try to read the instructions first??? Not only can you select what to restore/recover, but you can also select where to restore the data to. |
