DiskDigger is a portable, free file recovery software that can be used to restore deleted files from hard disk, USB flash drive and memory cards. In short, every device that can be read by a computer can be scanned to restore the deleted files within. Being focused only on document, image and multimedia files, you may find it easier to do the file recovery if your file target belongs to any of the supported file types. Beside able to restore deleted files that have been accidentally deleted, you can also use it to restore accidentally formatted files.

Another advantage of using DiskDigger, beside of its portability, to restore deleted files is that you can preview the files while the scanning process is still running. The scanning process entirely runs in memory so that there won’t be any temporary files written unless you want to save the restored files. Instead of depending on the file system, DiskDigger directly reads the the raw data chunks (sectors) to restore deleted files.
