--- Quote from: Betelgeus on February 03, 2022, 01:00:24 pm ---I'm trying to recover from 'Media Drive (H:)/recorded tv' to 'Local Disk (F:)/Recovered files 2'.   I doubt if this is right but is it close? 
'winfr H:\recorded tv F:\Recovered files 2 /regular /a /n .all'
--- End quote ---

This is the right command for your use case:

winfr H: "F:\Recovered files 2" /regular /a /n "recorded tv\"

You may also try this faster command, if your H partition is formatted using NTFS:

winfr H: "F:\Recovered files 2" /ntfs /a /n "recorded tv\"

The first argument to the command is the letter representing the disk partition where your deleted files were (in this case H).
The second argument is the complete folder path where you want the recovered files to be written to (in this case "F:\Recovered files 2").

Quotes (") are used around folder/file paths containing spaces.

The folder where your deleted files were is specified in the "filter", after the (/n) argument (in this case /n "recorded tv\").
In order to specify that "recorded tv" is a folder, not a file name, you have to put a backslash (\) after it, that's what the documentation says:

--- Quote ---/n <filter>     - Filter search (wildcards allowed, trailing \ for folder)
--- End quote ---

"all" is not a valid argument for winfr, don't use it.

I recommend you connect the drive with the deleted files directly to your PC, don't access it over the network.

Note: the tool might only look for files found inside the "recorded tv" folder, and not inside any of its sub-folders like "recorded tv\subfolder 1".

Betelgeus:
Thank you bogdanbz for your help. It worked but unfortunately didn't find any recoverable files. I'm assuming my first attempt at recovery using Recuva must have removed the originals. I'm just going to accept the loss but really appreciate your efforts and everyone else'.

Thank you!
Danny
