Can I restore photos deleted from my Samsung Galaxy?
I
accidently deleted the entire contents of the "Camera" folder on my
Samsung Galaxy S2. All of the photos and videos which I had taken in the
past 2 months were lost. Actually, i know I ought to back them up. Is
there any way I can restore them?
When a "delete" is completed,
the particular space that the file takes up is usually marked as blank
and can be used again by new files, however, the deleted file will
probably be still there until finally new data overwrites it.
Consequently, if you ever haven't taken any new photos or video clips,
you still can recover deleted photos by making use of
Samsung Galaxy recovery software.
