I recently trashed all nine years of Dad's Army, and I emptied the trash, but FileSalvage found all 43 .avi files (overnight) and restored them. Phew!

However, the files were sequentially numbered, without their original titles. So, I now have to get a broadcast index and view the beginning of each film, in order to re-title and re-sequence them correctly.

I followed the instructions for FileSalvage to restore the original file names; however, because there is no window interface with a continuous progress bar during operations like this, I cannot tell whether the process is active or inactive, complete or incomplete, nor how much time is involved.

The lack of informative progress windows is the only major drawback to this utility. It is as if the product were rushed to market before being fully engineered.

Otherwise a great program. It's added nine years to my life!
