So ive just used Recuva, a great program for recovering lost data. When i restore my files(mostly pictures) will duplicates of the files that are being restored conflict, and prompt me to choose which one to keep and delete? Or will they just add all the files to where i tell them to go? Is it safe to choose the option "Restore folder Construction" if i am restoring the files to the SAME harddrive where some of the folders that i had deleted used to be, and in some cases Still are? What i want to do is create a NEW folder to restore Everything to. Then go Through that folder and choose what i want and dont want. Do i have that option if i choose "Restore folder construction"? Im thinking that, that term means to make it look the same as before it was deleted, No matter where you put it, right? ...
I am a noob :) and im Ok with that.
Please help as soon as possible!!!
Thank you~.

Do the complete restore...
Then create the new folder you want and copy all files to it...
Then do your selective pruning process depending on what you want to keep...
Then backup the folder when done as is to DVD or CD...
Then you can safely remove bothe the original and backup folders if needed...

So i need to restore the files to the hardrive and THEN take out what i dont want? Do you mean to "prune" them out before i restore them? Because before you can restore the files, there is an option to pick and choose what you want. Clarify please.

Like patio said you should do a full restore and then go back though to delete the ones you don't want.
