Safe programs for File Recovery
kyrathaba:
I'm working on a C# project involving file encryption/decryption. One of the features I've implemented is the option to "securely delete" the original file after it's been encrypted (such that only the encrypted version remains, and the original cannot be recovered by file recovery utilities). Now, I don't really want to post my code. What I'd like to know is if you guys can recommend some trustworthy/safe free file recovery utilities against which I can test my "secure deletion". Obviously, if any of those utilities can recover a file that my program has "securely deleted", then my code still needs work...
Here are a few I've Googled:
Disc Investigator
Recuva
Undelete Plus
Restoration
TestDisk
FILERECOVERY® 2011 for Windows
File Scavenger® - Data Recovery Utility
Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition

I have personally used File Scavenger in the past (with great results).
nosh:
I can vouch for Recuva.
