How to Recover Deleted Files (rm -rf) or Accidentally click Empty Recycle Bin

So, sometimes “shit” can happen. Accidentally do rm -rf in linux OS, or click empty recycle bin in windows. Or, disk is corrupt, boot sector is broken, etc. This is a very useful tool to help you to “try” to fix it. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. At least you try… 😉 Err, wrong emoticon, it should be 🙁
