This one is indeed easy to use, and I can recommend it, too. As you maybe know, "delete" does not really mean "delete" in most programs and operating systems; it just means the file is deblocked and set to "overwritable" - but the file stays where it was; and that's what these tools are recovering. You should better not trust too much and believe you can always recover your files and so you dont need to be careful when deleting. Because if you have bad luck, the next files you save after "deleting" are placed just over the deblocked file... Following Murphy's law, this happens at least in 50% of all cases :-) and once it's overwritten, only very advanced hackers and maybe some secret services might help you further.
