Are there any tools, methods, incantations to recover recently deleted files on Ubuntu?  If it makes any difference, I want to recover a  2.x database file. But would be better to have a method/tool that works on any kind of file.

I need to restore my documents and folders, since the installation of 14.04 reformatted my harddisk.  I can sign in to Ubuntuone, but I see no way to make it restore the files to my harddisk.

My technophobe mother returned from a European trip to discover she'd erased all but 15 images from a nearly full 2GB card. As I am the computer guy in the family, she posted the card to me and asked that I make something magical happen.  The photos were taken with and deleted by a Nikon Coolpix. (I don't know the model.)  I am a Linux guy, but there is a Windows Vista box at my disposal.  What is my best strategy to try to recover something?

Possible Duplicates:             I thought that all operating systems would merge folder content when being moved to the same location. Imagine my surprise when that didn't happen and I have hundreds, if not thousands of files that have gone missing and are nowhere to be found.  Because they were not "deleted" they are not in the trash bin.  I've tried to do some recovery using a program called stellarPheonix but after about a 24hour scan, it didn't recognize any of the raw files (.dng,.arw) as image files and so I couldn't see if they could be recovered. It also didn't show the directory structure, which would be handy.  I tried a quick scan, but all it showed was files that were still on the HD, not sure what the point of that is.  I've used recover 2000 on Win and it does a good job, does anyone know of anything that works quickly and reliably for this kind of file recovery. (I don't think I should have to do a sector-by=sector for this kind of file loss)

I had 500GB portable hard drive. it fell from the table and when i joined it was not showing any data and asked me to format it. i did format. Then again it was not functioning properly so i had to quick format it again.  Now i had lots of data in it. Is there any software which can recover my files and folders with same structure as original

I had Windows 7 installed on my laptop, I installed Ubuntu and chosen the option to delete everything. But when I clicked that, it deleted my windows 7 partitions.  C: Windows  E: Documents F: Important Files   When doing a full wipe with Windows 7 it does not touch any other partitions just the C: drive. Now I have all the partitions merged together and I have lost my files. I have some really important files in the partitions that was deleted E:, F: is there anyway I could get them back.  I am new to Ubuntu and now I am stuck on it till I try and find my files back and change my partition to NTFS so windows can install.

Recently, I accidentally deleted a partition off of my external hard disk. I had a copy of Minitool Power Data Recovery left over when the same drive had become RAW about a year ago. When I selected lost partition recovery, it immediately identified my deleted partition and allowed me to access and recover the files that were there.  My question is this. Is there any way to change the deleted partition back to NTFS without having to have a drive that you need to recover the files to and then move them back after formatting, as I don’t have any space left on either the computer or on my other external hard drive, so that I don’t need to buy a new one. The files on the disk were really important.  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.  I appreciate any help in solving this crisis.

I need some help recover files from a partially overwritten partition.  I will start with what happened. I was trying to make a image out of my hard drive using dd, but I found somewhere online that using pv would tell me the best bs count to make the copy, what it didn't say was that it would make the copy.  I ran the following command:  pv &lt; /dev/sda &gt; /dev/sdc   When I realized what was going on I stopped it, but it had already written around 1GB. I would like to recover the files that were not written over, I suspect those that were are long gone.  If someone knows a way I would be thankful.

Has anyone had success recovering deleted files from an ext4 partition? I've tried various utilities, but none have worked yet. I'd be grateful if someone can share a success story!

I dragged a file to the recycle bin a few days ago. I have Windows 7 premium on a 245 GB partition, a 240 GB SSD, and a 250 SSD. And somewhere in the past few days I incidentally installed Delta Search. I know I should remove it right away, but I just switched to Windows on the partition of a 3.5 1 TB drive and would like to restore that file and deal with the malware after Christmas is over.  I'm pretty sure I know what drive that deleted files should be on, but what is the real name of the recycle directory and exactly where is it located? In other words, if I know the name of the drive what would the rest of the path look like so I can just paste it in my Explorer window and change the drive letter.

I know that most files, when deleted, aren't actually removed from the disk, and can be recovered later.  How can I ensure that a directory I had deleted will actually be removed from the disk? Are there utilities for that?  I'm using Debian Linux.

I know that on the windows operating system, when you delete a file it's still recoverable.  I'd like to avoid simply paving the harddrive with zeros as I would like to keep my OS installation as is, but is there a way to truly delete files that have been previously deleted?

I deleted the  /usr/share/themes directory, how can I recover it? Is there any way to check if there is any missing file/directory in /Computer directory? This was a bad try to change GIMP and Inkscape themes ("gtkrc" file). I changed all "gtkrc" files that I found in the system (stupid me...) and now my windows and apps are distorted =(

I've deleted a system file from my Mac and need to get it back.  System files can include:   hidden files in the root of / - especially unix files in /private  /System files /Library files /Applications files that ship with the core OS   System files are not any app, user files or files that can be regenerated by a known sequence such as cache files, Spotlight index files, etc…    Canonical question and answer for .

Is there a way to recover deleted data from a SSD / USB Flash drive?  All I could find were recovery for damaged drives, but I want to recover deleted data.  So how do I do this?
