TKO File Recovery

TKO File Recovery is a free file recovery tool for Windows that helps users locate and recover deleted files from local drives, USB flash drives, selected folders, disk image files, and the Recycle Bin. It is designed for common recovery tasks, such as accidentally deleted documents, photos, videos, music files, archives, logs, spreadsheets, presentations, and other user-defined file types.

The program features a straightforward scanning and recovery workflow. Users select where to scan, choose the file types they want to search for, review the found deleted items in the results table, and recover the selected files to another folder. TKO File Recovery supports predefined search groups for documents, images, audio, and video files, as well as custom patterns such as *.docx, *.jpg, *.mp4, *.zip, or *.*.

One of the main features is fast scanning of deleted files on NTFS volumes using MFT information. The software can also scan FAT32 volumes by reading deleted directory entries. When scanning NTFS, TKO File Recovery can display the estimated file status, which helps users understand whether a deleted file is more likely to be recoverable or whether it has already been corrupted by overwritten data.

The application also offers convenient recovery controls, including checkboxes, Check All, Uncheck All, Check Selected, Uncheck Selected, Recover Selected, Recover All, and Stop. It preserves folder paths where possible and supports recovery from multiple scan sources, making it useful for both simple cases of accidental deletion and more advanced recovery scenarios.
