Cant find files

I accidentally deleted some important photos from a camera. Googled how to restore them an purchased Recuva. When browsing for the files to recover the memory card/folder/ does not show up in the Recuva directory. It does show up in windows explorer.

Does it show in windows explorer as a drive or and camera? Recuva and most disc recovery programs need a drive wIth a drive letter assigned to it. May I ask why you purchased instead of attempting to use the free version, the recovery features are exactly the same. The free isn't hobbled or limited in its recovery.

I have a similar issue:

My camera is showing in Windows Explorer but not Recuva. I don't have a card reader in my PC.

Is there any way to access or recognise the camera as the recovery location in Recuva?

Thanks :)

It does not have a letter assigned to it. . I did not see a free version. Will it show up in the free version?

@JakeBDennisD suggests using a USB adapter.
