How to Search for Deleted Files
1. Launch the TuneUp Undelete module by going to the Fix problems category in the Start Center and
selecting the Restore deleted files entry from the Check system and fix problems area.
Alternatively, you can start the module by going to Overview of all functions in the Start Center and
selecting the Restore files entry under Hard disk.
2. Select the drives you want to scan for deleted files.
Even if you want to recover a file on an external storage medium (for example a USB flash
drive), this option will still be displayed.
If you can no longer remember where the files were stored, you can also browse all drives.
3. Restrict your search.
You can refine your search through the entry of search terms. This is recommended if you can remember
the name of the file or even just part of the name.
Search tip:Use the wildcards * and ?
When you enter search terms you can use wildcards. These function in exactly the same way as in many
standard search engines.
The use of wildcards when searching is useful if you cannot remember the precise name of the file or only
wish to search for a certain file extension.
* and ? can be used as wildcards, whereby * represents multiple characters and ? stands for an individual
character.
