4. A list of all supported file formats is shown. Select the file types you want to recover using the checkbox in front of the file type.

Tip: It is recommended that you select All Data in Select What To Recover screen (Main User Interface) while selecting file formats in the File List. This is helpful to avoid any file type conflicts. For example, a conflict will happen if you have not selected Multimedia Files from Select What To Recover screen but have selected the multimedia file formats from File List. In this case, even though the files are selected in File List, these files will not be included in recovery as Multimedia Files are disabled from the Main User Interface.
