7 Data Recovery Suite is a completely free software package for recovering lost or damaged data on a computer. This program can be used to recover lost files, folders, photos or partitions from working or damaged hard disks, as well as flash drives and SD memory cards. Altogether, there is a total of four separate modules for performing data recovery tasks and these modules are capable of recovering files with very little work on the user's behalf. When files are accidentally deleted, when a hard drive is formatted with files still on it or when photos have been lost from a Windows phone, the 7 Data Recovery Suite Free Edition is there to help.

Have you ever accidentally deleted an important file on your computer? Sure, it's easy to go back into the recycle bin and recover a deleted file, but what if you used the "SHIFT + DELETE" method? This is the same as moving a file to the recycle bin and then entering the bin and choosing to "permanently delete" or "empty" the recycle bin. Once you've done this, it's nearly impossible to recover your files without 7 Data Recovery Suite. Luckily, this program can recover these permanently deleted files where others have failed.

What about accidentally formatting a hard drive or flash drive? Maybe the option to format popped up on the screen and you accidentally clicked "OK". Normally, this would mean all your files are lost for good. However, 7 Data Recovery has a module for reaching into the abyss and saving many of these deleted files. It works equally well for flash drives, SD cards, and hard disks. You can even use it do recover deleted files from individual partitions that might have been damaged or wiped.

One of the best things about this recovery suite, and what really makes it different from the rest, is that it can recover deleted media files without causing further damage to the files. Often, if you’re lucky enough to find a program that can recover these files, they might still be corrupted or damaged too severely to play after recovery. This isn’t the case with 7 Data Recovery Suite Free Edition, which can efficiently recover media files with no damage.
