I accidentally wiped out my BitLocker partition, and now I’m in a bit of a scramble trying to get it back.
I stumbled upon this tool called M3 BitLocker Recovery—it actually manages to locate all the files I'm looking for! The catch? It has a 100MB limit on the free version, and I’ve already hit that ceiling. Now, I’m thinking I should just reinstall the software because I really need another 100MB of breathing room to rescue my most critical data.
So, I tried running a standard uninstallation and even used CCleaner to scrub the registry, but the software still insists I've already exhausted my 100MB limit.
Then, I moved on to IObit Uninstaller, which is supposed to be the "gold standard" for deep cleaning everything left behind—but even after that, once I reinstall M3 BitLocker Recovery, it greets me with that same message saying my free quota is gone.
What am I missing here? Is there some hidden footprint or a leftover file somewhere besides the registry that keeps tracking my usage?
(I even gave a cracked version of M3 BitLocker a shot, but it couldn't find a single one of my files.)
