A free Software utilities program for Windows

Fundelete is a free software only available for Windows, that is part of the category Software utilities with subcategory Files (more specifically File Recovery) and has been created by Sysinternals.

It’s available for users with the operating system Windows ME and prior versions, and it is only available in English. The program version is 2.02 and it has been updated on 5/27/2005.

Since the program joined our selection of software and apps in 2005, it has already achieved 33.157 downloads, and last week it had 105 installations.

Fundelete is a not that heavy program that doesn’t take up as much space than most programs in the category Software utilities. It’s a very popular software in countries such as India, Egypt, and Indonesia.

Although NT 4.0 provides a Recycle Bin, it is of very limited use. Only files deleted from the Explorer GUI end up being placed there. Any files zapped from a command window or from within a program are lost forever. Fundelete is a utility that replaces NT 4.0’s Recycle Bin to provide full protection of files deleted from anywhere. Fundelete includes the same configurability as Recycle Bin’s Properties dialog, including which drives should have protection enabled, and how large the Fundelete Bin should be allowed to grow. Fundelete also provides a filtering dialog that allows you to prevent files of specific extensions not to be sent to the Bin, such as editor backup files, and temporary files. You can also specify directories that will be excluded from protection.

Note that Fundelete does not enable you to recover files that were deleted before Fundelete was installed. To recover valuable files that may have already been deleted, try FileRestore from Winternals Software.
