Decent File Retrival Program

Firstly - this is not related to my questions on file shredding :whistling:

Does anyone know a decent file retrieval program? I've lost a bunch of files from a memory stick (there were there, the stick did not get put into any machine or get mistreated (that I know of) and now they're missing. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about what I might be able to do to attempt to get them back?

Thank you

Quick and simple. Also a good way to check to see if your shredding utility is actually doing it's job. =P

TBH it sounds like whatever you are trying to hide is bad enough that you should zero out the hard drive and destroy it, then get a new one.

don't destroy computer stuff the "conventional" way (like burning or whatever) cause forensics can recover/salvage it.

instead....use a MAGNET...if u know science, you know that this DOES work and why it does.

magnets completely wipe any data on computer using devices.
