Step 1. Select Desired Files to Scan.
Above all, you should get down to Data Recovery. Please install the matching package on your Win/Mac. Then, open the program and select "Others". The "Others" option is for scanning lost Zip, RAR and SIT files. Then, click "Next" to go on.
Step 2. Choose A Location to Scan.
The following step requires you to locate a path so that Data Recovery can perform a precise scan on that location. If you choose the whole disk (C:)/(D:)/(E:), it may take quite a long time to finish scanning. Then, click "Start" to begin.
The default mode is "Quick Scan". After the process ends or nothing is found, you can switch to "Deep Scan" for an advanced scanning. However, it would take you much longer time than "Quick Scan" does.
Step 3. Recover Zip/RAR Files to Computer.
When done scanning, you're allowed to preview those files found via Data Recovery. Then, please choose the desired files and click "Recover" to get them back on your computer without a hitch.
Hope this helps. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. However, I want you to know that the bigger size of files is, the harder it will be to recover.
