The practical case is the following: If I have a USB stick and use it at the home of a friend of mine or on the laptop of a colleague of mine or, worse, of my boss and I want to delete some files from his computer because now useless or because you don't want to show it, I drag it to the trash. By default, on Windows, a file that is deleted from a USB media or the SD card, be it a pen or a portable hard disk, does not enter the recycle bin but is completely deleted . This causes difficulty in recovering files in case they are deleted from the USB drive because there is no safety bin.
The ideal then is to have, copied onto the USB stick, a portable program that acts as the internal recycle bin of the USB drive or SD card and, in addition, which allows me to recover files that have been deleted or deleted, recovering them from the recycle bin.
The default recycle bin in Windows is only useful for storing and recovering deleted files from the local hard drive, i.e. from your computer's hard drive.
In case you delete an important file by mistake from the USB drive, iBin makes recovery easier and works similarly to the normal Windows Recycle Bin.
MiniBin is a portable program, which works on Windows 10 and Windows 7, to be copied to any USB media, both sticks and external hard drives so as to have a safety net when deleting files. After downloading and extracting it, the iBin.exe file can be copied to the USB stick. In this way you can start the program from any computer to which you connect the USB stick that contains iBin. When you want to delete a file from the USB removable medium, by clicking on delete, with iBin active, a window appears where you can choose whether to permanently delete the file or to put it in this specific recycle bin (Dump into iBin). In the latter case, it is always copied onto the pen in a trash folder from which it can be recovered .
When iBin is active on the used Windows computer, an icon appears at the bottom right, near the clock, in the taskbar. From here, by clicking with the right mouse button, a management menu appears where you can choose to open or clean the iBin folder, to cancel the last deletion operation and return the file where it was with a restore.
Clicking on " Dumping Management " opens a window from which you can manage all the files that have been deleted and copied within the iBin folder. To recover a file, select it and press the "Recycle data" button, while to permanently delete the file from the USB stick, press the Clear selected data button. When you choose to select all the files to delete them from the stick, the iBin.exe file is also included but it cannot be removed by itself (otherwise it would be suicide). To remove iBin, uninstall it from the remove button in custom options. It only works for single files, not for folders or multiple file selections.
Pressing on " Custom Options " there are other customization configurations where you can decide, for example, how much space can be large, at most, the trash folder and how often it should be automatically emptied.
I find this small program perfect for those who have a large USB drive but also for those who use the USB stick with a lot of documents or files.
Clearly this is not a data recovery program in the true sense of the word because it serves to create a safety bin to give you the opportunity to rethink it in case of unwanted deletion of files.
To recover files deleted from USB sticks and photos from memory cards, it is better to use another type of program indicated on another page.
