In my case, I tried to delete unwanted photos from my phone. So I selected the photos I didn't need or want and then clicked 'delete'. Unfortunately, it deleted ALL of my photos/videos from that album.
I tried a software called 'CardRecovery' and it found my lost files with its full scan (which retrieve all video and photos from my SD card) but it asked me to buy it before it would allow me to save the files.
Then I found Recuva, and it's easy to use, but it only found the selected photos that I wanted to delete in the first place. I even did a deep scan but had no luck.
I know the files are lost in SD card and I saw them with the other software, but they aren't showing up on Recuva. Is there a way that Recuva can do a full scan? Or can someone assist me in retrieving the files? Please help!
Sorry to hear of your problem. I'm not sure why Recuva is picking up some files and not others, unless you have HD videos on there which Recuva doesn't handle, or maybe some "Raw" images, which again Recuva doesn't do.
Have a look at "Photorec" (open source), which will pick up and restore just about anything. Here's how it looks after picking up my SD card in my desktop card reader ...
And for "partition table type" it worked with either "Intel" or "none" ...
Try "Intel" first, and by default it restores to the folder containing the PhotoRec files.
It looks like command line but it isn't, being quite straightforward if you follow the dialogue choices, and it can be installed to a folder of your choice. (Portable install).
