360 file recovery tool

360 File Recovery Tool is a free data recovery software developed by 360 Security Center and integrated into the 360 Security Guard function module. This tool focuses on recovering data lost due to accidental deletion, formatting, system crash or virus attack from storage devices such as hard drives, USB flash drives, and SD cards. It supports multiple file types such as documents, pictures, videos, and audios.

Software features

Efficient recovery capabilities

Dual-mode scanning: Provides two modes: fast scan and deep scan. The quick scan is suitable for recently deleted files, while the deep scan is for complex situations after formatting or partition loss, and digs out potential data fragments through a comprehensive scan.

High success rate: Some cases show that the file recovery rate in deep scan mode can reach more than 90%, which is especially suitable for the recovery of important work documents.

Compatibility and ease of use

Multi-device support: Compatible with hard disks, U disks, SD cards, mobile hard disks and other storage media, covering mainstream file systems such as NTFS and FAT.

Cross-system operation: Supports older systems such as Windows XP/Vista/7 to meet the needs of different users.

Simple interface: The operation process is intuitive and users can complete scanning and recovery in just a few steps without professional knowledge.

Security and preview features

Read-only mode: prevent write operations from overwriting the original data and ensure the safety of the recovery process.

File preview: Supports preview of images, documents, videos and other content after scanning. Users can confirm file integrity before restoring to avoid invalid operations.

Recovery success rate estimation: Help users evaluate recovery probability based on file recoverability grading (high/higher/poor/poor).

Intelligent filtering and sorting

Supports filtering files by file name, type, size and time, allowing users to quickly locate target files.

Scanning results are displayed by categories such as pictures, documents, audios, videos, etc. to improve recovery efficiency.

Core functions

Accidentally deleted file recovery

Recovering files permanently deleted by Recycle Bin cleaning and Shift+Delete supports recovery from the system disk (such as C drive), but please note that temporary files generated by system operation may reduce the success rate.

Format and partition recovery

Repair partition loss caused by quick format, partition table damage or virus attack, and rebuild the file system.

Deep scanning and defragmentation

For complex loss situations (such as disk bad sectors), we can mine residual data fragments through comprehensive scanning and restore complete files as much as possible.

Batch operations and filtering

Supports simultaneous recovery of multiple files. Users can specify drive letters or file types to narrow the search scope and improve efficiency.

Real-time backup and secure wipe

Provides real-time backup function to prevent secondary data loss.

Built-in secure erasure technology can completely destroy specified files to prevent privacy leaks.

Software common problems and solutions

Recovered files cannot be opened or have empty contents

Reason: The file format is incompatible, the data is partially lost, or the recovery tool did not fully recover the file.

Solution: Check whether the file format matches and try to use professional tools (such as Office repair tools); if the data is seriously damaged, you may need to accept partial recovery.

Scanning is slow or stuck

Reason: The storage device has a large capacity, a large number of files, or a high usage of system resources.

Solution: Narrow the scan scope (such as specifying a folder) and close other resource-consuming programs.
