Unable to read the files recovered by Recuva

Hello,

By mistake, last night I deleted some folders containing several very interesting files. As usual, I did some research on how to recover them and found that I should use Recuva and that it's a good product, which I did, and I was able to recover almost all of my files that I didn't test last night. Today, to my surprise, none of the files open and I get the message: file is damaged or corrupted!!!

Thanks in advance

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 56.0.2924.87

    Hello,
    If your lost data is overwritten by new data, it is impossible to recover it. However, in such a short time, your 50 GB files are not entirely corrupted.
    Maybe you can try another free software, for example, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free.
    The downside of this software is that its free version only allows you to recover 2 GB of data, but its features are powerful.
    So it’s better to try the free version first to see if this software can successfully recover your files, then use the pro version.

      Hello, if this topic can still help, I encountered the same problem: unable to read the files recovered by Recuva. By testing to recover them by file type (document, picture, video, etc.), it worked. I sorted in the top right under "filename or path" on Recuva (where there is a magnifying glass).

    Hello,

    Recuva doesn't work miracles...
    If the files are corrupted, it's hopeless...

    Thank you for getting back to me, but I don't think all my files (50G0) are corrupted!!! Besides, when I clicked on recover there were several green buttons indicating that those files are recoverable...
