Recovery State:

When searching for a "Deleted File", Glary Undelete reads the Microsoft Windows File Allocation Table (FAT) or Master File Table (MFT) to determine if the space used by the deleted file prior to its deletion is now being occupied by other active files. As only one file can occupy a storage space at any one time, if this happens the deleted file has been overwritten, or partially overwritten, and that part of the deleted file has been destroyed. Glary Undelete displays this in the following rating system:

Very Good: the complete file can be recovered.

Good: the search indicates that between 91% and 99% of the file can be recovered.

Medium: the search indicates that between 51% and 90% of the file can be recovered.

Poor: the search indicates that between 1% and 50% of the file can be recovered.

Overwritten: The original file has been completely overwritten and cannot be recovered.
