It can happen anywhere, anytime: while reviewing the photos captured with your smartphone or tablet, your finger slips and they end up deleted from the card. Fortunately, there are tools specifically designed to recover deleted images, such as PhotoRec, one of the most effective.
Anyone who owns a device with a built-in camera and takes pictures frequently has at some point regretted deleting an image. Maybe at that moment it didn't seem so good, or maybe its deletion was a simple accident. After all, folders that were mistakenly dragged found their end in the Recycle Bin with much less effort.
How to recover deleted photos
Undoing the deletion of an image (or any file, to be honest) is possible as long as the user acts carefully and has the right tools. Regardless of the medium, the first step is reducing activity to prevent any overwriting of the content, and thus give the recovery software a bit more of an advantage. Then, PhotoRec.
The truth is that PhotoRec has been on the market for several years, to the point of being considered a veteran. PhotoRec is not distributed separately; it is part of a package accompanied by TestDisk, aimed at checking the integrity of our drives. PhotoRec has two versions: one that works from the system console, and another with a graphical interface.
The user must specify the type of partition from which the images are to be extracted (ext partitions of Linux are the secondary option here), the destination for the recovered files, and the search parameters, which are limited to scanning the whole disk or only the available free space. The 'File Formats' section allows limiting the type of extensions, a good resource to reduce processing time.
PhotoRec requires a certain amount of patience. When scanning pendrives and memory cards, their lower capacity helps reduce wait times, but if the recovery is carried out on a hard drive with hundreds of gigabytes, there is no alternative but to let PhotoRec work.
On the other hand, the reward can be great. During our tests, PhotoRec recovered more than 400 images (all of them linked to old articles) that we had believed lost forever. Performance will be different in each case, but you should not hesitate to try this software.
