#Digging jim for windows 8 keygen
Now we wondered if there was something magic about the DEL command that made Windows think it should shred those files rather than simply unlinking them-so after downloading our test image again, this time we tried deleting it from the GUI using shift-delete in File Explorer-still with no change in the results. We thought perhaps the filter was a problem, so we removed it, this time asking for all recently deleted files from the C drive, using a simpler winfr C F:-still with no luck. First we deleted the file using del *.jpg at a CMD prompt, and then we tried to recover it to a USB drive with winfr C: F: -n \Users\Jim\Pictures. To make certain we weren't missing something, we tried again-this time with a large NASA image saved to the Pictures directory. Thinking that perhaps the tool "helpfully" ignored empty files, we tried again, and this time, we put a bit of actual data in our sacrificial text file. In our first attempt, we created and deleted an empty text file, but winfr couldn't find it. More importantly, we were unable to get winfr to restore a just-deleted file from our VM's C drive at all. Attempting to just undelete a file in place earns you a stern rebuke from winfr, and there doesn't appear to be any way to override this behavior. It's also incredibly picky about where it recovers files to-you'll need a separate storage volume, such as a USB thumb drive, to restore any files to. Unlike most of the third-party "undelete" utilities winfr supersedes, it's a command-line utility only-users won't get a graphical interface to help them wade through their drive. The "hoarding" part is unfortunately necessary because finding one of those utilities means sorting through stacks of scam apps targeting desperate users-and frequently, you can't be certain whether you've found one of the good ones or one of the scams until after you've installed it (hopefully, inside a sandbox or isolated VM). The lack of a proper file undeletion tool in Windows means that many of us have been hoarding one of a handful of old shareware or freemium third-party utilities capable of scanning disks and looking for remnants of deleted files. In the real world, proper system administration and frequent backups are a lot less common than we might wish. We were pretty excited to see this tool has become available-even though proper system administration means frequent backups, which render this tool unnecessary.
Although it isn't yet built into Windows, Microsoft has finally released its own file undelete tool-it's called Windows File Recovery, and it works with the newest builds of Windows (variously known as 20H1, 2004, and 19041).
