EXP 4: Recovery data on ext4 partition

Problem
Delete all on ext4 partition, cannot recover them using default commands of linux.

Cause
Some programs can delete your data over control.

Solution
Use PhotoRec to recover deleted data. I tried and recover about 95% text files (total over 200 files) when deleted on accident. It can use for NTFS or others supported partition type;
