Recuva is a great freeware tool to restore files.

  Once you have a SSD you can't get back deleted files.

    Only after the volume has been trimmed, which by default happens only once a week in Windows, IIRC.
    • Thaxll 4y ago
      No, the TRIM happen the moment you delete the file.

        Not anymore on windows or Linux. It tends to cause wear issues on many SSDs

          Well do the test on windows, delete a single file and try to get it back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzClnwGeJUM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzClnwGeJUM

            I did a couple months ago to a number of files. Worked fine. Windows 10, all solid state storage.

    I've recovered deleted files from an SSD before.

      It must have ben some times ago, basically SSD / OS in the last 6 years will TRIM by default which make recovery impossible.

        I didn't know that. I'm (probably irrationally) paranoid enough about the potential recovery of data that I store all my old laptops in an increasingly tottering tower in the garage (though technically they should have been encrypted as well.) If there is 0% chance of data recovery, I should probably look into selling them..
