Any Data Recovery is a flexible data recovery tool. This program can potentially extract files from ruined or corrupted drives. This can be amazing if a drive was recently destroyed physically or through hacking. It also has several search functions for finding your files.

Main Features

This program is made to recovery lost or destroyed files. It can do a normal scan to find files that have a high chance of being recovered, or a deep scan to go deep into the drive and find files other programs would miss. This will work on the hard drive, removable USB sticks, external drives and more. You can also preview the file before it is restored.

Not Always Effective

As with any recovery tool, this won't always be effective in recovering the file. The deeper it is and the longer the file has been erased, the lower the chance of success. This is common to all recovery programs.

Pros

  • Can perform three different scan types
  • Works on both computers and external devices
  • Can sometimes recover files deleted from your recycling bin
  • Gives you a preview of the file before recovering it
  • Can work with videos, photos, and documents

Cons

  • May not find all missing files
  • Works better at recovering recently lost files
  • Most scans will reveal the same content
  • Does not let you search by file name
  • Cannot search for all file types or formats

Free Any Data Recovery, also known as Any Data Recovery, is a free and useful program that helps you recover data from almost anywhere on your computer.

Computer data recovery experts often hear from people who make the mistake of storing important files in their recycling bins. They claim this makes it easier for them to find everything they need. If the computer automatically empties that bin though, they lose loads of files. Even if you keep your files carefully organized in marked folders, you might still accidentally delete some of those files. Before you panic or pay too much for expert help, you should try using Free Any Data Recovery to get back your lost files.

This free program gives you a few options when you launch it. You can select deleted file recovery, which will help you look for files that you accidentally deleted or those that you moved to a new folder or directory and lost. Its formatted file recovery can help you look for an older version of a saved file on your hard drive. This is great for those who have kids or pets that accidentally reformatted a file or made significant changes to a file.

Deep recovery is yet another option available with this program. With deep recovery, you can search through hidden files and deep into the folders on your computer. It can even recover files that you accidentally placed in the recycling bin. Even if you already emptied your recycling bin, there is a chance that it might still locate some of those files. It even shows you a short preview of that file to help you find the exact ones you lost.

As with other data recovery tools, this program cannot find all missing files. Your odds of recovery are greater for files that you lost or deleted more recently. You may dislike that it doesn't give you the option of searching for exact files or exact folders though. Each search requires that you look through multiples files and spaces on your computer.

On the plus side, Free Any Data Recovery works with both computers and external devices like flash drives and external hard drives. It can help you locate lost and misplaced files in a short period of time. The next time you lose a document, photo, video, or any other type of file, try searching for it on your computer with Free Any Data Recovery.
