File recovery: Recuva Accidentally deleted an important file? Recuva program: how to use, how to recover files, why does not see the phone How to delete recuva recovered files

Piriform's Recuva program is one of the most respectable tools for recovering deleted data (for example, after formatting or damaging removable drives). By the way, Piriform has made another good program - Speccy, we have it.

You can download Recuva for free on the official website. There is also a paid version (for February 2018, its cost is 800 rubles), but it does not give serious advantages. When installing, do not forget to select Russian and refuse to install CCleaner:

How to recover data with Recuva

After starting the program, a wizard will automatically start to help you recover the lost data. You can specify the type of files you want to recover, this will speed up the search (you can select the types: images, videos, documents, etc.):

Be sure to specify the path to the drive where you want to search, because by default Recuva will search for files wherever possible. It will take a very long time, and it will be difficult to find anything in the huge number of results.

If the files were simply deleted, Recuva will find them without any problems and offer to restore them:

If your drive has been formatted, and in other difficult cases, Recuva will offer you to do an in-depth analysis - agree. It can take quite a long time, depending on the size of the disk:

After the end of the search, click the "Switch to advanced mode" button, you will see something like this:

There can be quite a few items, because Recuva will find files and folders that have been deleted long ago. You can sort files by type, size or location. It remains only to select the necessary files and click the "Restore ..." button.

Very often, data is not deleted from the SD card, but the internal memory of Android. In this situation, none of the programs for recovering files on Android helps. That is, users are not only deprived of valuable data, but are also limited in recovery methods.

This method of recovering data from the internal memory of an Android phone cannot be called very simple. But it works and has been tested successfully by me. The described recovery method was suggested by the user Wartickler on forum.xda-developers.com and supplemented by a very useful article on Habrahabr (most of the actual information is from there. Thanks to the author for the presentation).

Who will benefit from the guide to recover data from phone. File deletion scripts

It turns out that there is a deep scan of the internal memory of Android. All you need to recover data from your phone:

1. download free recovery utilities
2. carefully read the instructions for data recovery
3. repeat the actions described in it on Android.

Difficulty recovering from internal phone memory

Android internal memory does not connect like a disk, as is the case with an external sd card, which you can always connect to your computer. External storage allows you to use data recovery tools that scan deleted files and help get them back to a usable state.

Typically, the operating system simply deletes the index reference, which indicates that the file exists with such and such a name and is located at that position on the hard disk / in memory. There are effective tools for deleting data, they overwrite the deleted file in several cycles, preventing recovery in this way.

The catch is that data recovery software needs an actual disk to deep scan a photo that was accidentally deleted. Newer phone models often do not support external SD cards, which are very easy to mount as disks using a card reader. This slightly complicates Android recovery: internal memory is mounted as MTP / PTP, which is not considered a mounted disk and therefore is not recognized by data recovery applications. However, we can solve this problem.

Internal memory recovery steps

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus Toro phone. I believe the recovery method is suitable for any android phone with internal storage. We also need Windows 7 or higher to:

• Back up your phone's internal memory section to your computer as a single massive RAW file,
• Convert RAW file to virtual hard disk,
• Mount the virtual hard disk as a disk in Disk Manager,
• Scan mounted virtual hard disk,
• Find deleted files, perform data recovery from android phone with Recuva resuscitator

Checklist of required data recovery tools

• Rooted Android phone
• BusyBox installed (a set of Linux console utilities)
• The installed linux environment for Windows is Cygwin with pv and util-linux from the repository. You need to open the Cygwin application at least once to make sure the / bin folder is created. In addition, I made a folder in to put the exported .raw file there,
• Unix utility Netcat (download zip file and extract nc.exe into),
• ADB drivers (make sure adb.exe is in the Windows environment path),
• USB debugging on the device must be enabled,
• VHD tool from the mighty Microsoft. Place the VhdTool.exe file in,
• Piriform Recuva or your favorite data recovery tool (Recuva finds only the most famous file types: images, videos, etc. To recover more exotic file types on Android, use more specialized programs)

Install BusyBox on your phone and provide root access

We need a copy of the internal memory section of the phone, it is not so easy to make it. You will need a set of unix utilities BusyBox and root access to perform operations with these applications.

BusyBox and KingoRoot you can download on our website or directly to w3bsit3-dns.com (registration is required there to download files). We put the utilities in the following sequence: KingoRoot, then BusyBox.

The KingoRoot root manager is easy to install: turn on the Internet on your phone, launch the installer. It "roots" the phone - that is, it enables full access to the Android system. Next, put BusyBox. Leave the default path as the installation directory.

Install KingoRoot on your phone

Recover from Android internal memory. We connect the phone to the PC in ADB mode

Connect the included phone to the computer in ADB mode. The easiest way to do this is to download adb drivers for your phone model and install them on your computer. It is advisable to restart the PC after that.

On the phone, turn on the debugging mode (Options - Developer options - check the "USB debugging" box). If there is no such section, go to the About device section, click 7 times on the "Build number" line.

We connect the phone to the computer via a USB cable. If a request for debug mode appears on the phone, we agree.

Making a raw copy of the partition from the phone

The recovery method from the internal memory of the phone is based on complaints from people who have problems while following the guide. I advise you to restore a complete block of memory instead of the data partition. I have it called mmcblk0. Check if your disc name is different from mine. Determine which block or section you want to return. I needed to restore a partition with user data: / dev / block / mmcblk0p12.

Open the Cygwin console (assuming BusyBox is installed at), although it might be. Run the following commands in the console:

Adb forward tcp: 5555 tcp: 5555 adb shell / system / bin / busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e / system / bin / busybox dd if \u003d / dev / block / mmcblk0p12

Open another Cygwin terminal and type:

Adb forward tcp: 5555 tcp: 5555 cd / nexus nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5\u003e mmcblk0p12.raw

Make a mug of coffee. It takes about 3 hours to copy the 32GB internal memory.

Convert the image of the internal memory to readable RAW

We need to convert the raw file to a virtual hard disk partition. The VhdTool.exe utility simply places the VHD footer at the end of the raw file. Open Windows Command Prompt, go to and run the command:

VhdTool.exe / convert mmcblk0p12.raw

Mount the internal memory image in Windows

Now we need to mount the VHD image in Windows. Go to Computer Management (Start - Computer - Management). Go to Disk Management.

Action menu - Attach virtual hard disk.

Specify as source

Right-click the name to the left of the unallocated space and select Initialize Disk. Select GPT.

Right Button on Unallocated File Space - Create Simple Volume.

A window will appear asking you to format the disk. DO NOT AGREE to format the drive at this point. Recovering files after formatting is not always possible!

Right click on the RAW space and select Format ... Specify the file system type FAT32. Set the distribution block size to "Default". Make sure the Quick Format option is checked. You don't want to overwrite the entire new disk with zeros (0) and destroy the data. Fast formatting means that Windows will try to destroy the index for the disk by creating a new index. Without this option, the Windows operating system will overwrite the disk with zeros (0), destroying your data. Click OK.

A window will appear informing you that formatting this partition will delete all data on it. This would be doubly true if you didn't actually check the quick format option. Double check that you actually checked the box and click OK.

Recover files from Android internal memory image using Recuva

Open the Piriform Recuva app. In the recovery wizard, click Next. Select "Other" and "Next". Click the At a Specific Location button and enter: K: \\ (assuming K is the letter of the mounted drive ...). Click "Next". Select the Deep Scan option. This is a magic setting that finds files that have been deleted ... but not actually deleted. Click the "Start" button to scan the disk.

The app can scan deleted files for about an hour in Deep Scan mode. Brew two more cups of coffee!

After Rekuva displays the scan results, you can select the files to recover using the checkboxes. Click the "Recover ..." button and specify the location where you want to save the data from your phone.

Recovering data from your phone using the Recuva program

Question answer

I have a GALAXY 3 NOTES phone. Accidentally erased recorded voice recordings on Call recorder. I heard that there is a free recovery program. Help if you know how to find it.

Answer... If the audio recording files were stored on an SD card, almost any file recovery application on Android and PC will do. Popular ones are Tenorshare Data Recovery, and universal ones - we recommend downloading Recuva. If the files were stored in the phone's internal memory, things are more complicated. Try an Android program called Undeleter Pro or follow this guide to recover from internal memory.

Do you need to download the program to your computer or smartphone itself? I started downloading the program to my smartphone, writes "not enough space", although there is enough internal memory. Will Renee Undeleter help recover photos from internal phone memory? There was no memory card.

Answer... First, do not copy files to where you are going to recover Android data from. Secondly, Renee Undeleter will not recover files in your situation. Try Recuva or choose another photo recovery software for unsuccessful results.

I moved my important photos to the folder of the running game "Android / data / com.supercell.clashofclans". Then when I entered the folder on my phone, the photos disappeared. Will I be able to restore my photos to the internal memory of SAMSUNG GALAXY J2 OC ANDROID 5.1.1 phone?

Answer... Yes, if you follow all the steps as described in the instructions. The main thing is to determine on which disk the photos were located and to make a raw copy of this particular section. Recuva should recover photos from internal memory if the recovery status is yellow or green.

Tell me how to understand if the block recovery process is in progress? Everything seemed to be going fine, but after typing all the commands in the terminal, a couple of lines with zeros appeared in the second window, a file * .raw was created in the nexus folder with a size of 0 bytes, and that was all. However, after a while, on the E: drive (in my case, Cygwin was installed from there), a file with the name of something like vhd with a size of 499 MB was found (it was recovering a 12 GB block), but the most interesting thing is that a virtual disk was created with the only empty file recovery.txt! Something went wrong?

Answer... That's right, vhd is mounted, and after quick formatting, it shouldn't have any files at all. Now you need to start Rekuva and specify this drive to search for files on it. If the snapshot of the Android internal memory was taken correctly, during deep scanning the files should be displayed in the list of found ones.

If the raw file did not fit for recovery, try another way to create a snapshot of the internal memory - by creating an ftp server, when the phone is used as a usb modem. The process is described in the aforementioned article on Habrahabr (link at the top of this article).

I have a Samsung GT-P7510 tablet. Android 4.0.4. I did everything as in your post. I have a Samsung folder. A vhdtool file appeared in it - 184KB and a raw file, but it is 0KB. I can't try the second method with FTP. there is no USB-Modem option.

Answer... Try to download netcat 64-bit. When entering commands in the console, use nc64 instead of nc.

If it does not help, then here is another instruction for recovering from internal memory.

Files from the USB flash drive and internal memory of Android disappear. I don't clean the phone from garbage, because I'm not sure if the information in the folder is located correctly! Tell me the reason and programs for recovering lost files from the internal memory of Android! information on your site is purely for the computer!

Answer... There are no high-quality programs for recovering from the phone's internal memory. Accessing the system is not easy. This article is a working way to recover files from Android internal storage

The problem is this: the tablet hung up, some photos were restored in the service center, but the huts were reflashed and the internal memory seemed to be formatted. I tried to restore it with programs, but the tablet connects as a mtp, and not as a flash drive, and it is impossible to scan. Is it possible to recover data from internal memory to Android by copying a memory image and its partitions?

Answer... Yes, the process is detailed above. Using an ftp server, you can make an exact image of a memory card in the form of a raw file and mount it on a computer, then use any program (in this case, Recuva) to restore a photo from an image of the phone's internal memory.

Updates arrived on xiaomi redmi 3 special. Updated, installed - everything works. But the videos and photos saved on the internal memory of the phone are gone. The most interesting thing is that the total memory of the phone shows 25 Gb, but it should be 32. Perhaps, there are lost files. I searched all the folders, but found nothing. How to recover deleted files in the internal memory of the phone, where to find them?

Answer... Photos and videos are stored in the DCIM / Camera folder. If you did not use an external sd card for saving, then the multimedia files were located in the internal memory, therefore, there you need to look for them.

The photo folder may have been overwritten while updating the mobile device. By the way, part of the phone's memory is occupied by system files, so this does not mean that the files you need are stored in a hidden form.

Try to search for files with DiskDigger for Android, if it doesn't help, take an image of the phone's internal memory, then scan the connected disk with Reucva on your computer.

I decided to delete the unsuccessful photo, while accidentally deleted some of the other necessary photos. The photos were in the memory of the phone itself. When connected to a computer, the phone is not shown as a separate drive. Therefore, as I understand it, I cannot restore the files with a simple program, since they were on the phone itself, in the internal memory. What program can I restore them with? For me, some simple option is better, because I hardly understand this. If possible, with a description of the actions, steps.

Answer... There are no easy methods to recover your phone's internal memory. As a rule, resuscitators for Android work only with external memory or require root to access the phone's memory, while searching far in all areas of the internal memory. Accordingly, the only possible way is to make an image of the phone's memory, at the next stage you can use any program. It is important that you do not use your phone up to this point, otherwise the files may be overwritten.

I am tormented by the question: is it possible to recover photos from the phone's memory itself, and not from a memory card. I really need photos from the Camera folder. When I myself try to recover deleted photos through the programs that you recommended, some unnecessary photos from Telegram are restored, someone's avatars, but not photos from the camera. Is it possible to recover them?

Answer... Indeed, although the developers claim that their programs will recover files in all areas of memory, in fact, most of the data is ignored during scanning - either there are not enough rights, or the program simply cannot do it. If you have enough experience, take a picture of the internal memory of the device according to our instructions. The process takes a lot of time, but at the same time there is a possibility that among other garbage you will find exactly the photos you need. Plus, it's completely free to restore, so you can experiment in your spare time.

1. I bought a new phone (ZTE Blade X3), I wanted to move the memory card from the old phone, but I forgot to turn off the new phone before that. All the photos from the internal memory of the phone have disappeared somewhere, but those that were on the memory card remain. There is only one question: how to recover photos from the phone's internal memory?

2. Accidentally deleted a folder with photos in the internal memory of the phone. As a result, the photos remained in the Android Gallery, but in black and gray, with the words "file deleted or damaged". Is there any way I can restore the photo?

Answer... First, check if the photos were copied to the memory card (they may be hidden), check for errors using the chkdsk utility (Windows).

If there are no photos, you can hot on the trail with DiskDigger or take a picture of the phone's internal memory and then, using PhotoRec or Recuva, return the photos.

Trying to get back the lost album from the Gallery, I downloaded two android programs for photo recovery. Some of the photos returned, but not the most valuable ones. How can I retry with minimal risk? I want to try to return not found photos, is it real in the current situation? The photos were stored in the internal memory of Android.

Answer... By repeatedly scanning the internal memory of the phone, you do not risk anything. But the longer you use your phone after deleting photos, the lower the chances of their recovery. Any program uses internal memory for its work and can write files to free space. In your case, it is better to take a snapshot of the internal memory of the phone and experiment with it in reading mode.

I want to use your method of restoring the internal memory of Android, but I have little space on the C drive - only 17GB, and the partition of the phone takes 53GB. Can I somehow create a folder for a virtual disk on the D drive? Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x phone.

1. The following problem came up. Camera images were saved in the Camera folder on the SD card. When trying to transfer other image folders from internal memory to external memory, the Camera folder was automatically duplicated. I deleted one of the Camera folders, as a result of which the second folder was also deleted. Can you tell me if it is possible to recover these images? The transfer was carried out using a computer, can the images remain in the PC memory? Information is very important.
2. There was little memory left on the phone as all the photos were saved in the internal memory. I found a way - I dropped everything from the phone to the PC, while deleting everything from the internal memory. And when I transferred the folder with the files to the flash drive, there were no photos I needed. I tried all the recovery programs - nothing came of it.

Answer... Check all image storage locations - hard drive, internal memory and sd card. Most likely, nothing was saved on the hard disk, since it did not act as an intermediary (i.e. no files were copied to it).
In the future, we advise you to copy files and delete them only after checking them on the recipient. Copying via ctrl + x is rather unsafe: there are many cases when files were simply lost along the way.

my son deleted the photo from the phone (from the internal memory of the device). At the same time, there is no flash card on the phone. how can i recover photo and video materials? I tried it through some programs - I restored some of the photos, but I noticed that these are photos that were once sent to my friends. and the rest can really be restored - the ones that I myself photographed? They are very dear to me

Answer... Perhaps, the recovery programs you are using do not scan the areas of memory from which the programs were deleted. If the photos are really important, take the time to recover photos from a copy of your internal memory. We described this method in detail above.

[How to recover deleted photo from internal memory?]

The internal storage of the phone is full, so I deleted the data from the cache. After that, I realized that all my photos and videos were deleted! No backup was performed. I tried apps to recover deleted photos, but I can't get the photo back. I deleted the files on 5/23/2018 around 10:53 am. What can I do to get the photo back?

Answer... If there is no space left in the internal memory, the data could be overwritten many times. Therefore, the chances of restoring the photo are minimal. Check if the files you are looking for are not on the memory card: suddenly the Android camera recorded files there, for lack of free space in the internal memory.

If you are using a Samsung mobile device and backup has been enabled, check your file backups in the cloud. It also makes sense to check the albums in Google Photos to see if there are any photos there.

Recuva is a very useful application with which you can recover files and folders that have been permanently deleted.

If you accidentally formatted a USB flash drive, or you need deleted files after emptying the trash can, don't despair - Recuva will help you get everything back in place. The program has high functionality and convenience in finding missing data. Let's figure out how to use this program.

1. The first step is to go to the developer's website and download the program. You can choose from both free and commercial versions. To recover data from a flash drive, it will be enough free.

2. Install the program following the prompts of the installer.

3. Open the program and start using it.

How to recover deleted files using Recuva

When launched, Recuva allows the user to customize the search parameters for the desired data.

1. In the first window, select the data type, the same format - images, video, music, archives, e-mail, Word and Excel documents or all types of files at once. Click on "Next"

2. In the next window, you can select the location of files - on a memory card or other removable media, in documents, the trash can, or a specific place on the disk. If you don't know where to look for the file, select “I’m not sure”.

3. Recuva is now ready to search. Before starting it, you can activate the advanced search function, but this will take longer. It is recommended to use this function in cases where the search did not return any results. Click "Start".

4. Before us is a list of the data found. A green circle next to the name means that the file is ready to be restored, yellow - that the file is damaged, red - the file cannot be restored. Put a check mark in front of the desired file and click "Recover".

5. Select the folder on your hard drive where you want to save the data.

Surely every user at least once faced a situation when an unnecessary file was deleted irretrievably, and later turned out to be necessary, or was erased by accident - for example, during a system failure. What to do in such cases? One of the simplest and most accessible tools for recovering previously deleted files is the Recuva program, which is quite easy to use.

Recuva - what is the program and what is it for

Recuva is a program for recovering completely erased files from the British software developer Piriform, known to Russian users for the CCleaner and Defraggler utilities. It comes in three versions:

• Standart - designed to work on PCs, laptops, netbooks and monoblocks;
• Portable - does not require installation on a computer, as it is used to work with removable media.
• Professional - a version with automatic updates designed for in-depth recovery of damaged or lost files on PCs and virtual disks.

Standart and Portable are available for download for free. The Professional version costs 800 rubles. It is also sold in a set of four professional versions of the company's products: Defragler, Speccy and Recuva for 1190 rubles.

There are many resources on runet from which this program can be easily downloaded, however, the download files they offer may well contain viruses, therefore, in the absence of a reliable "antivirus program", it is better to download Recuva from the "native" site

Advantages and disadvantages

According to numerous ratings from ordinary users and professional magazines, this program has been the leader among the utilities for recovering deleted files for several years. However, like any program, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of the product include:

• russified, intuitive interface;
• availability of a fully functional free version;
• interaction with any kind of storage media - from hard drives to memory cards;
• the ability to manually select places to search for lost files;
• search for system and hidden files;
• the ability to restore the structure of previously erased folders and archives;
• work with most of the most common formats, types and types of information: text documents, tables, presentations, photographs, audio and video files, folders, archives, etc .;
• the ability to manually set the degree of depth for file recovery and the level of reliability of deleting information.

The disadvantages of the product include:

• duration of work - from several hours even with a simplified search;
• the ability to recover only those files, the condition of which after data search was assessed as excellent - if their quality is average or worse, then they cannot be restored.

In practice, the vast majority of files do not lose their quality when deleted.

The program can recover different types of files, but only if they are erased in the standard way, when moving and then emptying the recycle bin or formatting the disk. If you have used any other utility to permanently delete files, Recuva will not be able to recover them.

How to use the program - features and functions

Recuva is a utility that every user of equipment will need at least once, since no one is safe from accidental file deletion or system failures. How to work with this program?

Installation

Overview of interface and functions

Once launched, the program will automatically prompt you to select the type of files you want to recover. To improve the search quality, it is recommended to check the In-depth analysis box.

The better the program analyzes the disk, the more deleted files it finds

Upon completion of the search, the program will display a list of files that have been erased but still need to be restored. The color of the circles next to the file name indicates the probability of success. The green ones have the maximum chances, the red ones the minimum.

Most of the files are generally recoverable

Check the boxes to mark the files that you want to return from "nothingness", and click the corresponding button in the lower right corner.

To simplify selection, on the right side of the screen, there is a "Summary" tab that contains detailed information about the erased files.

In many cases, it makes sense to listen to program recommendations

Please note that regardless of the type of drive from which the data will be restored, the scheme for using the program is the same.

What media does it work with?

In addition to hard drives on computers, laptops, netbooks and all-in-ones, Recuva can be used to test the following types of drives:

• memory cards;
• flash drives;
• digital players;
• smartphones;
• tablets;
• mobile phones;
• cameras;
• camcorders, etc.

This program will not be installed on any platform - for an android, for example, its analogue, Undeleter, is suitable.

Possible problems

Recuva is easy to install and easy to use. It does not require additional knowledge. However, Recuva does not guarantee recovery of any previously erased file, even if it was highlighted in green - this is its main problem. You can try to solve this complexity using the Professional version or other utilities for recovering permanently deleted files.

"Partially recovered" files are not opened in the future

The second common problem is that the program may not “see” the connected equipment: flash drive, phone, video camera, etc. First, it is recommended to disconnect the device from the computer and try to connect it again. If this does not help, you should update the device drivers. To do this, go to the "My Computer" tab, select the device, right-click on it and select "Properties". Go to the hardware tab and click on the "Properties" button there.

If the program "does not see" the hardware, instead of the "device is working properly" message there will be a message about the problem, and reinstalling the drivers will be able to solve it

The inability to recover from a secondary deletion is the only problem that cannot be solved. If the files were erased from the drive and after that new information was written to it or some other files were deleted a second time, then the utility will not be able to restore the originally erased ones - it simply will not find them.

Recuva is not overloaded with unnecessary functionality and unnecessary details. Having installed it, even a child can figure out how to use the wizard of this utility. It helps to quickly recover permanently deleted files from any storage media.

Modern smartphones and tablets are used to store information and process information just as often as computers. Accordingly, the problem of accidental data loss is no less relevant here: valuable photos, videos, important documents - sometimes the loss is irreparable.

As with the return of lost data on a computer, the key to successful recovery of deleted files on Android is the exclusion of further recording to the media. Simply put, as soon as you find that the files you need are erased, you need to immediately pull out the memory card or turn off your smartphone completely. These precautions will help prevent overwriting memory locations.

Using a computer

The easiest way to recover files deleted on an Android device is from a computer. Special programs like Recuva or 7-Data Android Recovery will help to do this. But to take advantage of their capabilities, you first need to enable USB debugging on your phone or tablet - this is necessary for the device to be recognized in the system as a removable disk.

Enabling debugging:

If there is no For Developers section, follow these steps:

1. Open "Settings".
2. Scroll down the menu to the About Phone section.
3. Find the item "Build number" and tap on it 7 times. As you tap, a notification will appear telling you how many more times you need to tap to become a developer.

After enabling debugging, the smartphone connected to the computer will be detected as an external drive from which you can recover almost any deleted data.

7-Data Android Recovery

7-Data Android Recovery, like Recuva, works without root rights, recovering files deleted from media. The only unpleasant moment is that you will have to pay for using 7-Data software.

Save the found data to your computer, not to the phone memory. When the recovery is complete, just transfer the files to your smartphone.

Recuva

The Recuva utility allows you to recover data from any media, incl. from microSD cards and internal memory of the smartphone. The procedure does not differ from the recovery algorithm via 7-Data Android Recovery:

After scanning, you will receive a report on the data found that can be recovered. There is a circle next to each file that you need to pay attention to:

• Green - information can be restored without problems.
• Yellow - the file is possibly damaged.
• Red - data cannot be returned.

You just have to select the files and click "Recover" to get back the lost information.

The EaseUS Mobisaver and Undelete for Root Users programs operate in a similar way, however, they require root access, so it is better to first try to solve the problem using Recuva and 7-Data.

Application use

If there is no way to recover files on Android via PC, then you will have to resort to using special applications. The main disadvantage of this method is the need to obtain root rights - without them, the application will not gain access to memory.

As an example, let's see the Undeleter program, which can recover files from an external flash card and internal memory. Unfortunately, without purchasing the full version, only the function of returning images is available, but if you are satisfied with the work of the application, then a small financial investment should not be a problem.

The application interface is friendly to novice users. You need to specify the folder in which the deleted data was stored, after which a memory scan will start. As a result, the program will issue a full report containing files that can be recovered from the phone.

It is often easier to prevent a problem than to deal with the consequences later. Deleting important information is definitely one of those unpleasant situations that should be avoided. Therefore:

Let's take the Dumpster app as an example. After installing it, you specify what types of files are sent to the Trash and how long they will be stored there. If necessary, you do the same as with the Recycle Bin on your computer - empty it or restore accidentally deleted files.
