Recovering deleted photos depends on several factors such as the device from which they were deleted, the storage medium, and whether backups were made. Here are some general methods you can try:
- Check Recently Deleted or Recycle Bin: If you’ve deleted photos from a smartphone (iOS or Android) or computer (Windows or macOS), check the “Recently Deleted” folder on your phone or the Recycle Bin/Trash on your computer. Photos might still be there temporarily before they are permanently erased.
- Backup: If you have a backup of your photos, whether it’s through iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox, or another service, you can restore the deleted photos from your backup.
- Data Recovery Software: There are various data recovery software programs available for both computers and smartphones. These tools can scan your device’s storage and attempt to recover deleted files, including photos. Examples include Disk Drill, Recuva, etc.
- Cloud Storage Services: If you’ve synced your photos with cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud, check those platforms to see if the deleted photos are still available in the cloud.
- Contact Support: For some services like Google Photos or iCloud, you might be able to contact customer support and request assistance in recovering deleted photos. They may have additional options or tools available.
- Professional Data Recovery Services: If the deleted photos are extremely important and none of the above methods work, you can consider HRC professional data recovery services.
Remember, the chances of successful recovery decrease over time, so it’s important to act quickly. Additionally, avoid saving new data to the device from which you’ve deleted the photos, as this could overwrite the deleted data, making it much harder or impossible to recover.
