minus-squareryannathans@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up16·8 months agoGparted can restore deleted files?
minus-squaremvirts@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoI dont think so… you can use it to set up deleted paritions again afaik but thats all that i know of.

minus-squareTheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·8 months agoHow can it restore disk partitions? You can only undo the changes you have not committed to the disk. It does not perform data recovery operations. Nowhere have I seen restoring partitions as part of its functionality, in my usage of GParted. That seems more up the alley of Testdisk and R-Studio.
