Data Recovery Tools External Hard Drive
Why won’t my data recover?
I have an external hard drive with bunch of videos in avi format. They range from 4-17 GB. I accidentally deleted them tonight. Immediately afterward, I stopped writing anything to the drive. Since I’ve tried a variety of data recovery tools (Recuva, Restoration, Handy Recovery, Free Undelete, etc). All of them find the avi files, but they only register ~5 KB and won’t recover.
Another program Data Recovery Wizard sees them in their full size, but won’t recover them. Any thoughts as to what’s going on and what I can do to get my videos back? Thank you very much.
You can also try to use Easy File Undelete to recover your video files:

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
