The normative procedure of evidence collection is physically isolating the computer when the first time touching it. Then the forensic experts create the imaging files from the original drive to analyze the copies to avoid any influence on raw materials.
To analyze the data found on the hard drive, they used a variety of techniques and data recovery software to find any hidden or recently deleted files and folders. The types of evidence that can be obtained through data recovery software include documents, videos, photos, messages, audio, and even Internet search history of criminal suspects. One of the basic techniques used by computer forensic investigators is to scan and identify and delete files and folders that occupy the computer. Then, they will try to recover the data in these deleted files and often find valuable data that can help file a lawsuit against the suspect.
