Attention Sly computer wizards!
Can anyone recommend software (prefer free) that will let me recover some deleted files. I un-installed some software the other day and it took a bunch of my videos along with it. And no they weren't porn videos

I looked at a couple programs, one was really expensive to actually use, and the other was free but wanted to save the recovered files to another drive (which I don't have). I understand why it wants to do that, but its not an option with me. If I lose some but can recover to the same drive, that's what I want.
Thanks & any help surely appreciated.
