Wtf does this do

This repository does not contain source code for a data recovery program. Instead, its readme functions as a download and marketing page for a Windows application called Glary Undelete, which is a commercial tool for recovering deleted files. The page describes itself as offering the "full version" of the software, as opposed to a limited trial, and provides a single external link where a visitor can download an installer. The readme is structured like a landing page rather than technical documentation. It includes badges, a table of installation steps, and a system requirements table listing Windows 10 or 11, 8 gigabytes of RAM, and 1 gigabyte of free disk space. The instructions tell a user to download the installer from the linked website, run it as an administrator, enter a license key, and restart the computer if prompted. There is no actual application code, build instructions, or project files described anywhere in the repository based on this readme. The "topics" and repeated phrases throughout the text, such as different variations of "glary undelete recover deleted files windows," suggest the page is primarily designed to appear in search results for people looking to download this software, rather than to host or develop it. Because the real download link points to a third party website rather than an official Glary or GitHub-hosted release, and the repository provides no way to verify what that installer actually contains, anyone considering using this link should treat it with the same caution they would apply to any unfamiliar software download from outside an official source. This explanation describes only what the readme states, it does not confirm whether the linked installer is safe or legitimate.
