Files deleted from external drives do not pass to the recycle bin because they are not held locally and so are not covered by this recovery method.
BTW The makers of PC Inspector provide a freeware tool to recover files from some removable media such as SD cards [Smart Recovery] dont know if it will work on USB.
EDIT : Works on USB for some files like JPegs,BMPs,Wavs and such.PC inspector may cover for other file types.
Hi,
Files on Network Drivers/Shares does not go to any Recycle bin. also on all removable media.
