Hi Liz, Thanks a lot for your clear technical information. Yes, I am familiar with Virtual Memory and such technical commputer things, but I hoped for SSD arent’t assigning those blocks as they do... Hope you had a good start in 2022 as well! Best regards, F.

Hi Florian, Unfortunately, it is unlikely that Kickass Undelete will be able to recover your images. The way traditional spinning-disk drives work, they provide functionally a giant addressable array of bytes. It is then up to the OS/file system to decide which of those it cares about and which it's ignoring. Anything previously written to now-unused bytes sticks around until it's explicitly overwritten. Solid state drives on the other hand, while exposing the same "giant array of bytes" interface,...

Hi there, I deleted some picture files (via Shift+Del) on my windows 10 desktop I'd like to get back. I tried both kickass undelete as well as another project recommended here named FreeRecover. Both programs list several of my files including likely correct files sizes and do recover succesful. The recovered files show the correct sizes, but their content is zeros only. Did anyone else experience the same? I attach a screenshot showing on file selected n Kickass Undelete and a free hex editor showing...

It took me awhile to figure this out: I was clicking and shift-clicking on the checkboxes instead of the names. A short set of notes would help.

Hi! Unfortunately this project is not currently actively maintained. I keep meaning to fix a few of the known issues and release an update, but, well, life is life. That said, could you provide me a little more information? Specifically, if you delete a file directly from explorer (using shift+del), are you able to recover it successfully? (obviously make sure it's not an important file). Also, to the best of my knowledge, files are renamed when they are moved to the Recycle Bin so it's possible...

KickassUndelete does not contain any malware or other user-hostile functionality. It is most likely a false-positive based on heuristics (although I'm unfamiliar with the details of Trapmine's malware engine). We do require direct access to the underlying hard-disk instead of accessing files through Windows's filesystem layer. This is necessary for us to implement the functionality we do. It is potentially possible that the build environment has been infected by malware which has been unintentionally...

Hi! Thanks for trying Kickass Undelete. :) It's been a while since I've looked at this project, but if you run it from cmd.exe you may be able to see some debug output. Your comment makes it sound like it immediately disappears. It doesn't pop up any error messages or anything? Ticket 35 was raised recently with a specific exception so it's possible you're running into the same problem. I'll try to get a fix out for that soon. Unfortunately the nature of this project makes it tricky to reproduce...
