      Chkdsk doesn’t really ‘recover’ lost data. It just puts the file parts it doesn’t know what to do with into separate files. If chkdsk finds a lot of lost clusters you might want to let some recovery software have a look at it before you have chkdsk convert them into files.

      And yeah, as much as is possible delete files you don’t need to free up space.
