Disk Drill — Recover Deleted Files from PC, USB, and SD Card 2026

Disk Drill is a powerful and user-friendly data recovery tool developed by CleverFiles for Windows and macOS. It specializes in recovering all types of deleted or lost files from hard drives, USB flash drives, SD cards, and connected mobile devices.

What Can Disk Drill Recover?

Disk Drill recovers all file types — photos, videos, audio files, documents, and more — from internal hard drives, external flash drives, SD memory cards, and phones connected via USB cable. It can recover data even after formatting or partition damage by performing a deep scan of the storage device's structure.

Supported file systems include FAT, exFAT, NTFS (Windows), HFS+ (Mac), and EXT2/3/4 (Linux).

Recovery Vault

The Recovery Vault feature acts as an extended Recycle Bin — it records metadata about every deleted file without using additional disk space. If you later realize you need a file you deleted, recovery is just one click away.

How to Use Disk Drill

Install the program, open it, select the storage drive to scan, and click the scan button. After the scan completes, browse the list of recoverable files, select what you need, click Recover, and choose where to save the files. A success notification confirms the recovery.

Important tip: Never install Disk Drill on the same drive containing the deleted files — writing new data to the drive reduces recovery chances.
