About this app

Smart File Recovery & Root Check

Lost an important photo or video? Smart File Recovery is your dedicated utility to help you scan, locate, and restore deleted media from your device's internal storage. With an advanced Deep Engine Scan and a built-in system status checker, recovering your data has never been easier.

Core Features:

🚀 Deep Engine Scan
Our powerful scanning technology goes beyond the surface. It analyzes your device's storage to find residual file data, cached thumbnails, and hidden media that are no longer indexed by the system.

⚡ Quick Scan
A fast, lightweight scan to find recently deleted photos and videos from common directories.

🔍 Recovery Center
Browse and categorize your recovered files. Whether it's an old memory or an accidental deletion, our organized grid allows you to preview and restore what you need.

🛡️ Root Status Checker
Instantly verify if your device has root access. Understanding your system status helps you determine the best recovery methods available for your specific device.

📊 Real-time Storage Analysis
View your storage health at a glance. Our intuitive dashboard shows you exactly how much space is used and ready for analysis.

Why we need "All Files Access":
To provide a functional recovery service, this app requires the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Modern Android systems index only active files; however, deleted data often remains in hidden system folders or unallocated space. By granting this permission, our Deep Engine can perform a comprehensive search across all directories to locate and reconstruct your lost media.

Privacy & Security:
Your privacy is our priority. All scanning and recovery processes are performed locally on your device. We do not upload, share, or store your personal photos or videos on any external servers.

How to use:
1. Open the app and grant the necessary storage permissions.
2. Select "Deep Engine Scan" or "Quick Scan."
3. Wait for the analysis to complete.
4. Browse the results in the Recovery Center and tap "Restore" to save your files back to your gallery.

Download Smart File Recovery today and get your memories back!

DANGER! This is a bogus app. Look at the developer's name. The real Recuva app is developed by ccleaner (piriform software) and does not work on Android. You have to install it on your PC and access an SD card from there. Do not install or use this app. It is probably a copyright violation for this person to use the name recuva. They did reverse the logo and change the color of the helmet.
