Can I Recover Deleted Files from Android Phone?
Many users have the question: where are the deleted files gone? Can I get back the deleted data? The answer is definitely a yes.
This is how a phone deals with deleted files. When a file is deleted from your Android phone, the file still remains on the same spot, only that the space it occupies is marked as "unused", which means the space is available to save new data. Once the spot is used by new data, the deleted files are overwritten and deleted permanently.
To make sure that you can retrieve the deleted files, there are two things to do:
-
Stop creating new data;
-
Recover the deleted files as soon as possible.
Many things you do on a phone can create new data: install or update apps, download music, take photos... Therefore, cut off network connection on your phone and try to use the phone as less as possible. Then use a file recovery program to restore the files from your Android phone.
And you may want to recover the deleted Android files with a computer since the installation of an Android data recovery app could potentially overwrite the deleted files. So instead of a file recovery app for Android, you are recommended to install FonePaw Android Data Recovery, a data recovery program installed on PC or Mac.

STEP 4. Analyze Device and Get Privilege to Scan Files
