In many data recovery cases, users will get many invalid or corrupted files in the recovered folders. It’s not good or not professional to send all these recovered folders to the final clients(PC users asking for data recovery).

When patient drives have many bad sectors or weak heads or scratched surfaces or when the patient drives have many fragmented files and common data recovery software cannot recover and restructure all fragmented files and the recovered files could not be opened normally, users will get many invalid or corrupted files within these cases.

Dolphin DR Assistant Pro. helps a lot to detect all invalid files or corrupted files quickly and delete them quickly.

Invalid files contain the following items:
