Can I recover a formatted USB drive

The USB drive may be formatted for all kinds of causes. As you dont want private info be disclosed, the project has been completed and the data is not need any more, defragment disk and transfer data from one USB disk to another, or you can say that I just want to format the USB disk. Its not important the reason why you format it, the only thing we care about is how to recover the data we needed from the formatted USB disk. Can I recover the formatted USB drive?
    
The answer is YES, theoretically. You format the USB disk means the data contained is invisible, it is not a destructive procedure. The data will reside on the USB drive until the space it occupies is used to store new data, and then the old data will be destroyed. You can deeply scan the USB disk and retrieve the data through a professional data recovery software like Hdata Recovery Software before the data is overwritten. For its powerful, easy-to-use features, you can recover the data after a few steps.

Second, link the formatted USB disk to PC, move your mouse on the button on the interface of the program to select the issue you suffered. Here we can just click mode of U-Disk & Memory Cord Data Recovery and choose the formatted USB disk.
   
Third, click Next for high-speed scanning. Hold on a few minutes ,do not choose interrupt during scanning for averting data loss.
   
Fourth, click the exact file you need in the scan result list. Files could be conveniently previewed for its type, size, name, etc. Pay attention, missing files name could be changed by PC system automatically. You can use Universal Recovery mode to scan again if files are not found.
    
Fifth, click Browse to select save path for recovered files. You should choose a new path for preventing data overwritten.

Sixth, click Next, the software will recover the data automatically. The only thing you should do is just to be patient for a few minutes.
