Windows 10: correct syntax to recover a deleted .sys file?

I have searched everywhere but haven't been able to find the correct syntax for use with winfr in Command Prompt to recover an accidentally deleted .sys file. All of the instructions I have found give the syntax for simple searches but not for this particular search. Can anyone help me please? I understand that I need to use /k somewhere in the code but haven't found an example anywhere that shows me where that goes, or whether I need to use /n. I have the title of the sys file so can specify that if I have the correct syntax. I have tried all sorts of combinations but keep getting an err

recover deleted data???

That was the word on the street (so to speak) all the way back to the DOS days.
Files are never really erased by the OS. Most every OS just marks the Directory entry for the file, that it was deleted. In the olden days, the filename "Mark.txt" would look like "?ark.txt".

PCTools had an undelete command in it's file manager. All you had to do was provide the first letter for a deleted file and PCTools would recover the file for you.

But if someone had deleted files and then did a defrag, well it was 99% certain that any deleted file was overwritten and gone forever.
Many logs are written to during bootup and can overwrite deleted file space, so the less activity performed on a drive after file deletion, the better the chance of recovering those files.

I too would like to know the name of that recovery program. I have one tucked away someplace but right now I don't even remember the name of it.*Confused
