Title: Recovering Lost Wallet
Post by: tantraPT on October 20, 2017, 02:19:39 AM
I mined some Litecoin back in 2011 and I kept the wallet file on a Folder.
I stopped using that hard-drive but I still keep it.
Recently I tried to search for the wallet on that HD for it but I can't find it. I think I looked in most folders but I just can't find it. I might have renamed it, but I'm not sure..
Is there any good software to search for wallets on a HardDrive?
I also might have deleted the file! Any suggestions on file recovery software? Any thing specific to (Litecoin) Wallets from that time?
I really appreciate your help!

Depending on how much you think you had, and the likelihood of retrieving it .. it might be a good idea to get an expert agency to do it. Search for disk recovery offices near your workplace, or mail your harddisk out to the pros here: https://www.sos-data-recovery.ch/en/

Also depends on how much you trust the people there. It is conceivable that a paid employee finds your wallet, then copies out your file, removes all traces of it, then tells you "Sorry, couldn't be found."
