How to recover files (quick guide)

The program uses a simple workflow so even first-time users can recover data quickly. Typical steps are:

1. Open the desktop application and choose the drive or folder where the files were lost.
2. For Windows click the Start button; on macOS choose Scan to begin searching the selected location.
3. Wait for scanning to complete — this can take longer when the target contains a lot of data.
4. Preview the recoverable items by selecting individual file types from the results.
5. Select the files you want and hit Recover, then choose a destination to save them.

Important: save restored files to a different partition or external drive than the one they were recovered from to avoid overwriting and potential permanent loss.
