However, if the disk has been formatted and the file is lost, or if the deletion occurred a while ago, or if you need to recover data from an external disk, you can use the (Whole Partition Scan) or (Whole Disk Scan) function.
Data recovery function introduction:
Fast Partition Scan – Quickly retrieve files lost due to accidental deletion or emptying the recycle bin.

Step 3: Select the (Fast Scan) option and click the (Next) button to scan. It should be noted that “Fast Scan” only scans the first 30GB of the remaining space of the selected disk. If the desired file is not found after scanning, you can use “Deep Scan” to try to scan the hard disk partition again. It will take more time, but more data can be scanned.
Step 4: Wait for the scan to complete. You can double-click on the file to preview, then check the desired files, and click the (Recover) button to start data recovery.
