Recover Deleted Files from Multiple Sources
TKO File Recovery can scan different locations depending on your recovery task. You can search an entire disk, scan a selected folder, analyze a disk image file, or focus specifically on the Recycle Bin area of a selected drive. The program supports fast scanning for common Windows file systems, including NTFS and FAT32. For NTFS volumes, TKO File Recovery includes a fast MFT-based scan mode that helps locate deleted records efficiently. For FAT32 volumes, it can scan deleted directory entries directly.
Search by File Type
To make recovery faster and easier, TKO File Recovery includes built-in search categories for common file types:
- Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, ODT, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, CSV, XML, JSON, MD, LOG, ZIP, RAR, 7Z
- Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIF, TIFF, WEBP, HEIC, RAW, NEF, CR2, ARW
- Music: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A, OGG, WMA, ALAC
- Videos: MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WMV, M4V, WEBM, MPEG, MPG, 3GP
You can also use All / Custom Formats to search for any file type or define your own file masks.
Review File Condition Before Recovery
TKO File Recovery displays scan results in a detailed list with file name, path, size, modified date, and condition. For supported NTFS scans, the program can estimate the recoverability of deleted files by checking whether file clusters appear to have been reused. This helps you identify files that are more likely to be recovered successfully.
Possible condition indicators include excellent, good, damaged, poor, overwritten, empty, resident, sampled, or unknown.
Recover Selected Files or Restore Everything
After scanning, you can check the files you want and recover only the selected items, or use bulk recovery to restore all recoverable files into a chosen output folder. The software preserves file paths where possible and is designed to handle long Windows paths during recovery.
