USB Repair is a Windows program that lets you recover data from USB flash drives.

If you ever accidentally delete a file or have files corrupted by an application, USB repair is a solution. It can potentially recover data that’s been lost or damaged due to deletion, power outages, application errors, disk formatting, viruses and more. As with most data recovery solutions, the sooner you recognize the problem and act, the better your chances are of recovering the data.

USB Repair works with practically any storage device that connects to your desktop or laptop computer via USB. That includes USB flash drives as well as external hard drives. All brands are supported, and you can, for instance, use a USB adapter to make the program work with SD cards and the like. The program works on all Windows PCs from Windows XP all the way up to Windows 10.

It doesn’t matter what type of data you’ve lost either. When USB Repair is able to reclaim data, it can recover text documents, photographs, music, videos and much more. Even if the drive has been formatted or virus-corrupted, it can support most major file formats, including AVI, GIF, JPEG and MP3.

The program is also incredibly easy to use. Run it. Point it to the affected drive, and let it scan. The scan can take a while based on the size of the drive, but when it’s done, it’ll list all of the files that are recoverable. You can then choose what to recover and where to save it. The results can be a bit obfuscated particularly if the drive has been formatted, but what you get is usually more than enough to locate any important data that’s available.

USB Repair isn’t a freeware program. You have to pay for it. The upside is that you get to download a free version, run it and see what it can do for you. If it can recover what you need, then you purchase the full edition and have it rebuild your files. It’s worth mentioning that success depends on many factors. Even reclaimed files can be incomplete depending on many variables, which includes but isn’t limited to how many writes to the media there’s been since deletion or corruption occurred.
