I restored a Windows 7 image on my laptop which I made last year. I backed up all files but I apparently missed a folder with about 7 MS excel files.

Now is there a software i can use to recover these files?

The only one I can think of is Piriform's Recuva. Not sure how well it will perform though. I had mixed results the last time. Though I suppose it's better than nothing.

Thanks guys.

I tried Recuva, it showed the files but they have been overwritten i.e. windows defender files and vlc etc

I tried testdisk and it didnt list the files I was after.

I take it there is no pint in looking for other software to do the job because recuva has shown it has been overwritten?
