Recover deleted files on a DiskCryptor encrypted HDD

Post by Beliathal »

I've accidentally deleted a few important files on a partition encrypted with DiskCryptor. The files weren't deleted to Windows recycle bin (I use Total Commander - F8 bypasses windows recycle bin). Any attempt at recovering these files with any unerase/undelete tool I have, such as Handy Recovery, Recover My Files, Auslogics File Recovery, Active File Recovery etc - succeeds in recovering the files, but their contents remain encrypted and the files are unreadable. Is there any way or any tool that can help decrypt them or can I make DiskCryptor somehow decrypt the files during recovery?

decrypt the entire partition and run the recovery tools on that
