I've watched several tutorials of this before I found your great video. The others were hard to follow or didn't explain the steps well enough, you made it crystal clear. I appreciate that you showed the steps for recovering a file folder specifically, as many other tutorials didn't even mention it. Thanks for helping out us tech-illiterate folks!

Can't thank you enough for this video. My wife lost a folder with years of collected photos, due to some weird computer glitch. Your method is the only way to retrieve them back. While not perfect (with about 20% of the files either corrupted or missing), at least we can get the majority of them back. Thank you sincerely!

Thanks for introducing this new app from MS. It's about time MS has such tools natively rather than relying on 3rd party apps. These should be part of Win tools since 3.1. Would you know whether WinFR is able to recover entire partition? The other tool I'm extremely glad that MS has introduced is the Winget command. Took MS 23 years to implement Winget after Linux has implemented theirs in 1998. TQ

I can tell this video worked for a lot of people, and it did for me as well. Sadly, my important folder I deleted was on an SSD which...I had to unfortunately learn overwrites and corrupts deleted files pretty much instantly... so I lost everything. Massive L for me, but your video still worked absolutely well for recovering the files, and I don't want to make people think my loss means that this strategy doesn't work or anything.
