Windows 10: Search for a free tool that can find traces of deleted files.

Hello,Recently, after having encountered some system problems, I searched the Internet for a solution. Google suggested a few tools. I tried the one that was at the top of the search.Following the use of this tool I discovered with enormous disappointment that a large number of .pdf files were deleted.I contacted the tool developper,but they drag on their answers.I used some tool to recover files: many recovered files are no longer usable.So, my question is: does exist some freeware tool that allows to obtain the list of deleted files with fullpath ?Sincerely.

App for deleting files while being used by another process...

Most of the time, booting in safe mode, as administrator, will enable you to remove those files (maps).

however, there are some programs out there to do just whatyou ask, I once found one after some searching on google. So either try my suggestion, or in fact search on google perhaps?

"Force delete" will bring up enough info on this.

 

File explorer not refreshing after deleting files in search


Using Windows 10 Home.
This problem only happens if I'm performing a search.
If I search within a folder for say *.* and then delete a file, the list of files does not refresh.
The file remains listed even though it's been deleted.
If I manually refresh then the file disappears from the list. Same thing happens if I undo the delete.
I need to hit F5 to make the file reappear in the search list.

Anyone else having this problem or know a fix? Thanks.

Seems to be a Windows 10 prob. I went back to 8.1 and everything was fine.
