Let's be real. Windows File Recovery can be a handy tool, it's definitely not without its quirks and drawbacks. If you're not savvy with command-line interfaces, this can be a major hurdle. The whole typing commands thing can feel a bit intimidating, especially if you're used to the more visual, user-friendly apps. If you make a typo or use the wrong command, you might end up with nothing, which could leave you feeling extra frustrated.

There are situations where files might be too damaged or overwritten, and no amount of command-lining will save them. I’ve had times when I thought I was doing everything right, only to end up with a hollow victory.
