    Never really needed it (r-studio never failed me when I did) but any time I have tried to recover files deleted moments before, it never found them. Practically worthless from my experience.

    I have been using this for a while, and it has never failed me. However, this version is not working to recover anything on a simple sd card. I don't know why.

    Probably one of the best freeware undelete tools available. Very simple and easy to use for recovering deleted files.

    But for recovering lost files/partitions, I'd recommend TestDisk, and for damaged files/drive, I recommend GetDataBack.

    @Zoroaster: The slim version doesn't include the toolbar but still requires one to install the program, while the portable version doesn't require any installation.
