This is the software publisher's description.

Deleting something by mistake is an experience that happens to all computer users. The fact that data can be retrieved has to do with what happens when it is deleted. It is not removed from the computer’s hard drive, but instead the system labels the space on the drive as being available for writing over by a new file or the expansion of an existing one. If this hasn’t happened yet, the data can very likely be resurrected in pristine form. This holds true for other digital devices as well.

Search and Recover can rescue files, photos, e-mail messages, movies, music, or documents from hard drives, floppy disks, CDs/DVDs, music players, digital cameras, PDAs, memory cards, and more. E-mail messages can be retrieved even after the “trash” has been emptied, and in Microsoft Outlook, even calendars, tasks, notes, journals, and contacts can be rescued. Search and RecoverT can also resurrect data after the worst PC disasters, such as accidental formatting, reinstallation, or repartitioning.

Accidentally deleted photos, files, songs, email or videos, lost even years ago, can be safely recovered with a single click. Using the wrong recovery software can damage data, reducing your chances of success. Search and Recover's powerful technology rescues items other products will miss.
