I had a small .rar file of less than 1MB in a folder (that was both hidden and password protected) that was deleted to the recycle bin and then emptied. I later realized I needed this file again. All my Googling pointed to Disk Drill being the best app for this. So I installed it, and ran a complete scan of the entire secondary internal drive where the original file was deleted from.

From my understanding of the tutorial, I should be able to navigate to the original folder directory the .rar file was deleted from, and it would appear in Disk Drill (where I could recover it). But I'm not seeing it. I'm also not 100% sure if I'm using the program correctly, as I try to use filters for files that were deleted in the last few days (of less than a certain size), but it shows way more than the filter states.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong and how I can locate this file?
