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! 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...
