Comments about TestDisk as an Alternative to Recuva
It's focused in recovering partitions, not files. So it lists partitions with not much info about the files inside.
It can recover FILES. When you select your partition press P for list files option. It will show you all your files and folders. Then you can browse your files and select the folder you want to recover. For example your Users folder. Press C to copy selected files to another location. Yes the user interface is not super beginer friendly but it can recovery your files. It also recover file names and folder structure.
