Welcome to the Undeleter user guide! We've taken every effort to make Undeleter as easy to use as possible, but just in case you run in to a problem using the software, we've put together this handy guide for you.

Downloading Undeleter

Downloading the Undeleter installation package to your computer is the first step to cleaning your registry. Here's the link you need to download Undeleter:

Download Undeleter

The Undeleter installer is around 5.0 MB, and will take 20-30 seconds to download on most broadband connections. When it's done downloading, open it (by double-clicking on it) to begin the installation process.

Installing Undeleter

The next screen you'll see is the End User License Agreement. This screen gives you the terms and conditions for using our software. Please do read it!

When you're done reading the EULA, and assuming you find it acceptable, please select "I accept the terms and conditions" then click "Next" to move on.

Undeleter will then ask you to choose an install location.

Using Undeleter for the first time

Congratulations! Undeleter is now installed on your system.

Undeleter should now be running on your system, waiting for your input. If it's not, you can launch it again from the "Undeleter" shortcut on your desktop.

Press the big "Start Scan" button to get moving.

Undeleter will then display a list of the physical hard drives in or attached to your computer. You can choose which drive to scan before pressing "Start Scan" again.

Here's a list of all the recently deleted files from my PC's C: drive. From here you can use the box marked "Quick Find" to try and track down a specific file for which you know some or all of the file name. You can also narrow down the search by selecting a folder using the "Look In" box.

The results of any filters you apply using either Quick Find or Look In will appear under the orange header. If few or no files are found matching your search the results that do not match the search will be displayed as well under a grey header.

When you've found a file or two you can easily click and drag them from the box on the left to the one on the right. You can also select multiple files and drag them all over at the same time. When you're happy with the list of files to Undelete click the "Undelete Now" button at the bottom right of the window.

You can then choose where to save the recovered files.

If this is the first time you've run Undeleter you may be asked to activate it at this point.

A web browser will open when you click Register displaying our purchase page. If you've already purchased Undeleter and have your license key you can just close this window right away.

Once you've entered your license key, press "Activate". You will receive notification that the activation was successful, like this:

How to bring up the registration dialog if you ever need it again

If you ever need to bring up this dialog again, just press "About", then "Register". If the button says "Renew" instead of "Register" that means that Undeleter is already active and working.

How to verify your successful activation, and check the status of your license

To verify your activation, and to check to see the status of your license (like how long until it expires), press "About" in Undeleter. You'll be taken to the following screen, which clearly shows your license key and how long until it expires. It also lets you renew your license.

Once your copy of Undeleter is registered and activated you'll have full access to the Undelete function.

To access your newly Undeleted files click on the "Open file location" button.

That's it for the user guide; thanks for reading!
