A: Specifying the same location for both deleted and recovered files is not allowed, as this could overwrite the deleted files completely and make them inaccessible for recovery procedure.
 
Q: The desired files have been restored by FreeUndelete, but the appropriate application states that the files are corrupted. Why does this happen?
