Smart Data Recovery is a simple program for Windows that allows you to recover files and folders which were previously deleted from your system. The procedure is straightforward yet features in-depth customization options.

Brief review

The application has an intuitive graphical user which consists of a single window that provides a few options. Thus, you can select a drive and recovery mode, either normal or extended. It is also possible to pick the file format to look for. The list of supported item types includes the following:

JPG, GIF;
WMA, MP3;
MPEG, AVI;

ZIP and RAR.

Advanced scanning mode

If you choose to engage the extended mode, it will take more time to complete a scan. However, this option is perfect for a thorough search or for working with formatted storage devices.

During the operation, you have the ability to view the total number of scanned files and found items which were deleted, as well as a progress bar.
