What exactly does 'already used' mean ?
The more data is being written to the hard drive after the file has been deleted, the lower the chance of recovering it is.

How big is the hard drive ? And how much do you guess have been written to it after deleting the file ?

Also, if you have already used some recovery program, tell us the name. We can only suggest you 'better' tools if we know which tools you have tried.


The first step to recover usually is to stop using the hard drive immediately.
Then, create an image (better: multiple) of the drive (e.g. using dd) and perform your recovery on the images (preferably on a fresh image for each try).

Hello thnx for ur answer.
i have use active file recovery as i told and the hard drive is used for more than 5 months + now i think it have many bad sectors.
the use is too light and i had find the file but not work correct so i believe maybe with a better recovery tool i can find the the .seco file.
is it possible to recover the backup on exodus wallet via resend it to my email ??

Hello,i had a wallet on my old pc and be mistake i send some ltc to the old one.The problem is that i dont have backup and i tried to recover some files (exodus support) told me with a program a friend suggest me the active file recovery but with no results.
the files im looking for is seed.seco and the hard drive have already used and formated one more time.

Any suggestion?or any better recovery tool to use?

**the hdd is toshiba

thnx in advance

First of all: stop using the disk... Any sector that has been overwritten is more or less lost... I've heared about 3 letter agencies that can potentially recover an overwritten sector, but for a normal guy on a normal budget, you should consider sectors that have been overwritten as lost...

I'd recommand to use dd to make a copy of all sectors on your disk before you try anything else.

Afterwards, i've heared people share success stories of recuva's recovery software...
