How to recover deleted files from Memory Card



I am sure almost all smart phone user might had ended up in deleting their photos accidently and the first reaction will be " OmG " but you dont actualy have to worry so much as recovering those files are possible and easy too.

I personaly recommend using PC or Laptop rather than Smartphones . And in this we are going to do in Pc ( Windows )

In this we are going to use an application named Recuva for Windows which is a free option. There are plenty of more apps available online .


You will need a card reader, a computer, the memory card in question and nerves of steel.

Step 1 : Do not use the Memory Card after the files got deleted untill you recover your files


Memory card or any other type of storage devices all have same type of base for eg : Imagin memory card as a Book and it has a fixed number of pages , when you add any kind of files to your memory card it is like writing with pencil ( you can erase and write ) but it will not be erased when you delete them the software will just show it as blank . But when you add new files the software erases old one and adds the new one . THIS IS WHY WE SAY DO NOT USE THE MEMORY CARD AFTER FILES ARE DELETED IF YOU WANT  TO RECOVER THEM 
Step 2: Select a recovery suite. The software mentioned in this tutorial is Recuva for Windows 
Bear in mind that there are plenty of other options out there, and you may already have one that was included with your memory card, if it was from vendors such as Lexar or SanDisk.

Step 3: Install and set up the software on your PC

Step 4: Start up the program and choose what sorts of files you want to try and retrieve. In this tutorial we're looking for photos, but Recuva also gives you the option of finding a number of other file types.

Step 5: Run the scan and see what files it turns up. Hopefully you will get some results here, which means the software has found your images.

Step 6: For Recuva, select all the images you want to restore, and click the "Recover" button. Choose a place you want to restore the files to. You will want to choose somewhere you can access easily, like the desktop or your pictures folder. It's best  to save them back to the memory card.

Step 7: Check the files that have been recovered, then back them up!
Hopefully these steps will have recovered your images. If not, there are other options to try, including paid software, as well as professional data recovery services.
