hey guys found some of my old sd card and wanted to recover some files off them I may have deleted any free program out there I could use? |

If it's just photos, videos and other media QPhotoRec is probably your best option. Runtime Software also made a free version of their GetDataBack software called GetDataBack Simple 1.02, but I'm not sure if they offer it anymore. You might be able to find a link to the previous version. |

There are a few apps good at recovering contiguous files though. |
