deleted photos, videos from micro sd card

mealmond

Hi

I did the same thing last year, I deleted some important photo's off my SD card.

I used, http://www.asoftech.com/apr/, and it recovered all my photos plus others that I had deleted in the past, so it was a bonus.

You do have to pay for the program, but I could not find anything at the time that was free that did what I needed, and it did the job required, so for me it was worth it.

If you find a free program, give that a go first, but if that does not work, the program I suggest worked at the first time of asking.

Good luck.

Hi guys was wondering how i go about doing this, my partner has deleted photo's off her htc desire it has a micro sd card do i just plug the phone into my computer and use the software or do i need a specialist card reader

if it plugs into the computer in mass storage mode (which it should) then you shouldn't need a special card reader as the phone acts as the card reader.

So its works then....? Cool I didn't think it would work or should i say i couldn't work out how it would work lol

Make sense what your saying though

It works in exactly the same way as it would on a hard disc drive.
When you save a file, the data is written, along with a "flag" to mark the datas position, it's actual location on the device. When you delete the file, all you actually delete is the flag, not the data itself. The data only gets over-written when new data is saved to the drive and the space is re-used.

Think of it like this: The data is a road, the flag is a signpost. When you click delete, you rip out the signpost, but the road is still there. All these data recovery programs need to do is drive over the whole road, reading the data and re-creating the flags.

I had great results years ago with a SD card and "get data back" which was Freeware IIRC, but it sounds like the programme linked above is now much better.
