Considering Recuva, it might work if:
- The drive is overwritten or replaced
- The storage device has already compressed the files
My Windows runs on an SSD... but those games are running on an HDD... so uh... ??? I don't know.
Deleting a file from the disk merely updates its status—it doesn’t permanently remove it. The system still recognizes the space as free, allowing recovery tools to check for remnants. Additional writes could overwrite the original data. After some time and inactivity, much of the information may become inaccessible.
Ensure the files reside on the HDD before using Recuva to scan. Be aware that additional data written afterward might make recovery impossible.
