I have lost my photos stored in DCIM folder, which are the photos taken by phone camera, how to recover it??
I have the same problem, lost my fotos while cleaning.
Try looking in your Google account.
Your photos may have been saved in Google Photos, or in Google Cloud, rather than on your phone itself.
Cleaning may remove the link (but not the photos themselves) so if you re-establish that link your photos are back.
Even if you thought they were in the DCIM folder they may not may not have been, you may just have had a link to Google Photos / Cloud.
I have searched everywhere and even used recoverysoftware to try to find my photos, but I can not find them. They where on my sd card in my phone. Have you any suggestions where to look.
If they were on, and deleted from, an SD card then Recuva will be able to find them - the Free version is all you need it has exactly the same recovery functions as the Paid for version (you are just paying for support).
You will need a SD card reader to connect to your computer. Many Laptops have one buit in.
If Recuva cannot find any deleted files on the SD card than that says that the files were not stored there and are probably still in Googles Cloud storage. (so as said above just the links have gone missing).
PS. If you need help with using Recuva give a shout, there is a sub-forum here for that, or watch this video:
I have not saved the photos in google so its nothing there, I am surprised, even CC Cleaner team is not responding to this issue. Team is busy in counting the bucks and playing with the emotions of people.
I have used recuva to try to recover my photos, I have lost while using ccleaner on my samsung phone. Recuva did not find photos from the last two years. It did find only photos from earlier years. How can that be?
Where these on a SD card or in DCIM?
I’m not sure that Recuva can access DCIM on newer phones.
Presumably the ones you have recovered were on SD but the newer ones were were stored in Google Photo or Google Cloud? (Or possibly the Samsung Cloud if you use that instead?).
No SD card, its internal memory of phone, DCIM folder.
I have disabled sync with cloud, so its never been stored on Google Drive.
What I have observed that even recovery software will give you thumbnails of pics, and also no software is able to recover photos from DCIM folder of internal storage.
My photos are being saved on a sdcard but i was not able to retrieve them. videos too. from the last two years. older videos and fotos are not deleted. I do not use a cloudservice also. And in Google fotos also I can not find my photos from the last two years.In my Internal storage nothing was deleted.
