How-To: Recover Deleted Files (Unformat Camera, etc.)
by Omni on May.26, 2009, under How-To Guides, Useful Programs
If you have ever used a digital camera before, you probably have noticed that there is some sort of “Format Memory Card” option, which basically deletes all the pictures on the memory card. However, this can be painful if you accidentally format your memory card (or even if you accidentally delete one or two pictures that you really wanted).
The first and most important thing to keep in mind if this happens is DO NOT TAKE ANY MORE PICTURES, OR USE THE MEMORY CARD AT ALL. All recovery programs that can undelete your files rely on the fact that when a file gets deleted, the actual data isn’t erased (at least until something overwrites the section where it is written/saved). Keep reading for the guide on how to recover your deleted or formatted files.
