Recovering deleted files on Android is possible using various methods. Here’s how you can do it:
Check Trash or Recycle Bin
Most Android devices have a built-in Trash or Recycle Bin for apps like Gallery, Google Photos, or File Manager. For example, in Google Photos, open the app, go to the Library section, tap on Trash, and locate the deleted file to restore it. Similarly, check the File Manager app for a Recycle Bin folder if supported.
Cloud Backups
If you use cloud services like Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox, your files might be backed up. Open the respective app, check the Trash section, and restore files if available.
Use Android Data Recovery Apps
Install a reliable recovery app from the Google Play Store or use desktop software. Popular apps include DiskDigger for photos and videos and Dumpster, which acts like a recycle bin. Alternatively, desktop tools like Dr.Fone – Data Recovery or Tenorshare UltData can be used by connecting your phone to a PC, enabling USB Debugging, and scanning the device for deleted files.
Use SD Card Recovery Tools
If your files were stored on an SD card, remove the card and insert it into a PC using an adapter. Use tools like Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, or Disk Drill to scan and recover files from the SD card.
Contact a Professional
For critical files, consider contacting a data recovery specialist, although this may involve additional costs.
To avoid future data loss, regularly back up files to the cloud or external storage using apps like Google Backup & Sync. Let me know if you need assistance with a specific method!
