Recuva dont download deleted files just existing files

The only difference : one key is Fat32 formatted and the other is exFat formatted. The problem is with the Fat32 key. I've done other tests and effectively it can't recover directories if it's a Fat32 key.

It works well wit an exFAT key. My tests have been on FAT32 only, and I can recover a deleted directory back to the root they were simle tests however. I think that success depends on the circumstances of the individual. I've deleted several directories and I can't recover anyone in Fat 32 but it would be able to recover very old files.
