This data can be found in the ‘Reconstructed Files’ folder in the results of a Deleted Files or Deep Scan.
When files are deleted, their location on the hard drive is marked as available free space and until that location is overwritten with new files, the raw data may be recoverable. This is because the metadata for the file, which includes filename, folder location and other information about the data, is lost. The reason for this is because when files are deleted, the link between the raw data on the hard drive and the filesystem is broken. If you are attempting to recover files that were deleted or files from a formatted hard drive, generally the filename and folder structure are not going to be recoverable.
This data will be found in the ‘Found Files’ folder in the results a Quick or Deep Scan. If you are attempting to recover from a drive that is failing to mount and cannot be accessed through OS X, or from a system that will not boot, it is possible to recover folder/file structure since the data is still fully intact in most cases.
The possibility of recovering data with it’s original file name and folder structure depends on the specific recovery scenario. Will this recover data with its original name and in its original sub-folder formatting?
