Recovering deleted photos from a camera memory card or PC

Have you lost or deleted pictures either from a camera memory card or PC? Do you want to recover those deleted pictures?

The good news is that the deleted pictures that you are looking for can easily be recovered from either a camera memory card or a PC in many conditions. Before knowing about the recovery process, you should first have little basic knowledge as what exactly happens when a photo gets deleted.

What happens when you delete a photo (or any file)?

When you delete a photo (or any file) the data is not erased but just the index entry that shows where the data for those files is located gets removed. In such case the system doesn’t know where to find the deleted pictures any longer. Now the area of storage space containing the data for those files is marked as free space. It means it is available to the system for any new files to be written there in its place.

For recovering deleted photos with the utmost chance of success, just don’t do anything on the system that might cause new files and data to be written to the device that you deleted pictures from.

If you need to recover pictures from your computers hard drive in particular, you should follow certain basic steps:

  • Stop using the PC to browse the internet as this causes lots of temporary files to be written to the disk.
  • Should NOT open applications or programs as this often causes lots of disk activity making the successful photo recovery and the recovering deleted pictures more tricky
  • Should NOT close any applications or programs as this may cause files to be updated and saved to the disk. Any application that is still writing data to disk should be halted if possible, preferably still without actually closing it.
  • Do NOT shut down, close or reboot your PC. This may cause applications or Windows itself to save data by creating new files, potentially overwriting your lost data and again making it more difficult to recover pictures.

By following these basic steps your deleted photo (or any file) can be protected from overwriting.

The quickest and easiest way to recover deleted pictures from either a PC or camera memory card is to use REMO Photo Recovery software.
