Hetman Uneraser review
A read-only desktop recovery tool with broad filesystem support and export options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hetman Uneraser is desktop software for recovering accidentally or permanently deleted files from HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, and other storage. It suits individuals and small or mid-market teams that need undelete recovery across different operating-system file systems, including filesystems their current system may not natively read. Its focus is existing file systems rather than rebuilding lost partitions or recovering formatted or damaged storage, so those needs point elsewhere.
Its filesystem coverage is a central strength: the listed formats span FAT, exFAT, NTFS, ReFS, Ext2/3/4, XFS, Btrfs, ReiserFS, ZFS, UFS, APFS, and HFS+. Uneraser performs read-only storage analysis, searches metadata for existing and deleted files, and can look for supported formats by internal signatures. Users can browse folders, thumbnails, and available file details, and preview results before buying a license. This makes it possible to assess a scan before committing, but saving recovered files requires a paid license. The license is described as perpetual; the published pricing information does not give a displayed amount.
Recovery output can go to another disk, a ZIP archive, or an FTP server, and saved analysis results can be reloaded to continue later. The software can also analyze RAW disk images and DriveImage XML images. It supports HDDs, SSDs, external drives, flash drives, memory cards, single-drive NAS devices, and servers. Support channels include email, chat, phone, and documentation, with 24/7 support and a 30-day refund period. Pick Uneraser for read-only undelete work across mixed filesystems and flexible result export. Choose another approach if the job involves multi-disk RAID, lost partitions, or formatted or damaged storage.
