I have recently used the ‘photorec’ component of the ‘testdisk’ application for recovering files from FAT32 file systems.
I had used it before to recover files from general USB devices and others like Compact Flash/MMC/Secure Digital media with great success.
Then, I was focusing on recovery of photos and movies.
This time I was looking for various non-image files. Again I was suitably impressed by its coverage, and its simplicity in terms of use and speed.
They name may suggest only photos, but this is a great piece of software, regardless of what kind of file you are trying to recover.

Wooooow! Thank you so much for posting this! Something weird happened and a lot of important files got deleted and using this program, it found the files and it seems to be copying them correctly. Thanks again!

I lost some irreplaced photos and have been puling my hair out trying to figure out how to recover them in Linux. I haven’t tried yet, but here’s to hoping! Thanks
