Question Windows File Recovery without being Connected to Store

[Mr Kingsbury]

Accidentally deleted a huge folder from an external HHD. The only way I know of to maybe recover it is by using "Windows File Recovery".

I'm using Windows 10, on a lousy metered satellite connection. How do I download this program, where I can use it without being connected to their Store?

Oh yeah... we're poor, so please no suggestions of paying for something that was at one time free.

You need to go through the microsoft store to get the safest version from the developer.

Recuva is another free data recovery program alternative...
