Yeah thanks but I know that; what I want is for my own logged in account so that I give my computer to someone and they can’t delete anything from my PC ???? for whatever reason. Once I deleted all partitions of my hard disk but could recover it by some freeware but at time when I deleted my old photos I couldn’t recovered it by trying hard on various softwares. I don’t know what the problem was even though I didn’t even messed files and folders by writing any more files to that drive.

What i think most important is getting deleted files back specially photographs of our family and friends. thanks for the article btw.

As a caveat, most of the freebs you and I have mentioned haven’t been updated since 2009 or 2013…but I haven’t heard many complaints yet. Didn’t say about free for Free BSD or OSX as I don’t know of any free by myself.

Hope this jabber was useful to people, cheers!
