Every now and then, you might end up in sticky situations where you accidentally delete files which are not meant to be deleted. This is where tools like UndeleteMyFiles come in handy. The software does exactly what the name suggests, but unlike other file recovery softwares available out there, UndeleteMyFiles has a unique preview feature which can restore files to temp directory and open it in the default viewer, so that you can check out the files which should be brought back to your hard disk.
UndeleteMyFiles has three modes: File Recovery, Media Recovery and Mail Recovery. Media Recovery helps you to undelete media files, whereas mail recovery can retrieve accidentally deleted Outlook emails.
They’ve also crammed a file wiper into the software, which lets you delete the files securely. Files once deleted through the file wiper are nearly impossible to recover. I put UndeleteMyFiles against Recuva (my favorite file recovery software, once upon a time). UndeleteMyFiles was actually able to find and restore deleted files more quickly. [Via: gHacks]

Ah file recovery software. About 4 years ago, I accidentally formatted my whole hard disk while using DOS and had to recover it through file recovery software. Took me quite a bit of time for searching for the right software etc. Not a good experience!
