Deleted Data Recovery

Computers and mobile phones can hold a large amount of information which is not visible to an everyday user – this includes deleted files.

It is a well known “secret” that computers don’t actually delete data – they only remove the reference to where that file is. This is true, to an extent, with certain models of mobile phones.

CCL-Forensics are specialists in deleted data recovery services, which can help unearth vital evidence for law firms, police forces, private companies – or anyone who needs to retrieve deleted data.

We carry out deleted data recovery using forensic techniques which means the original media is not changed. This means that it can be admissible in court or at a tribunal where there may be disputes over the content and provenance of deleted data.

Deleted data recovery can be used to investigate cases of fraud, harassment, identity theft and intellectual property theft to name a few – in short, in any situation where an individual has allegedly misused a computer or mobile phone and tried to cover their tracks.

The success of deleted data recovery diminishes with the amount of use a digital device is subject to, so it is recommended that you call CCL-Forensics as soon as misuse is suspected. This increases the chance of the deleted data remaining, and not being over-written by repeated use of the device.

Despite their comparatively small size, deleted data recovery is also possible from mobile phones and other smaller storage media. Prompt analysis of these devices is vital to maximise chances of retrieving deleted data.
