How to recover deleted photos from hard drive?

 

How to recover deleted photos from hard drive? is a common question encountered by many users, when they lose their memorable photos. Generally, when the files are deleted from, it does not mean that the data cannot be recovered completely or partially. Data written on your hard drives stays on it until and unless it is overwritten by new data. Deleting photos using file management utilities does not permanently delete them from the hard drive. It only removes the pointers that are used to point or locate that data physically over a hard drives. The photos are still there and it can be recovered using special photo  recovery tools. Accidental deletion of photos is the most common scenarios that cause data loss.

If you have deleted photos using Windows Explorer then need not worry. Because, when you delete photos from hard drive using Windows Explorer then they are moved to Recycle Bin so that you can restore them if you want those photos back. Sometimes, you may accidentally delete photos using “Shift+Del” keys resulting in data loss. Deleting photos using “Shift+Del” keys does not move your photos to Recycle Bin instead, they bypass the Recycle Bin resulting in loss of photos. Sometimes, you may accidentally empty the Recycle Bin resulting in loss of files. If you have stored some important photos in Recycle Bin then accidentally emptying Recycle Bin completely deletes all the data stored in it resulting in loss of photos. Storage capacity of Recycle Bin is 10 percent of hard drive. If Recycle Bin gets full then it starts deleting old files. If you have some important photos in Recycle Bin then they may get deleted when Recycle Bin gets full resulting in loss of photos.

The efficient way to avoid loss of photos is taking backup of those photos. If you have backup file then you can easily restore lost photos from it. If you have not taken backup already then stop using that drive from where your photos have been deleted. Because, when you delete a photo, allocation information of that specific photo is destroyed making that space available for storing new data. If you save or copy new data to that drive then it may overwrite photos, which are still present on hard drive resulting in permanent loss of photos. Therefore, avoid using that hard drive and use reliable photo recovery software.

SD (Secure Digital) cards, SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards, MiniSD cards, CF (Compact Flash) cards, XD (Extreme Digital) cards are the different types of memory cards. Memory cards have dropped dramatically in price over the past couple of years i.e. they are very affordable. Different memory cards come in different speeds.

JPEG has become a default file format for most of the digital cameras due to small size that it creates and relatively good image quality that it produces.

JPEG images can be compressed without losing too much of image data during reconstruction. Now, digital camera can save images in different formats like TIFF, TIF, PNG, BMP, GIF, PSD, CR2, CRW, DNG, RAF, RAW etc. To store large number of images, different types of larger storage capacity memory cards are available in the market. Memory cards use flash memory to store large number of images. Flash memory is a non-volatile memory, which retains all images untill you purposely erase them. Memory cards are also not susceptible to mechanical failures because, they do not have fragile moving parts like hard drives. But, they may get corrupted due to logical failures. In such case, you need to use relevant memory card recovery tool. JPEG image recovery can also be done using this memory card recovery software.

Memory card arranges and organizes images using file system. Memory card generally use FAT32 file system. File system stores allocation information of each image stored on memory card. When you try to open the image, file system searches for that image file. If it find in it’s file allocation table then it open the image file else it reports an error message. Sometimes, you cannot access the images from memory card due to file system corruption. File system may get corrupted due to various reasons like virus attack, improper system shutdown when the data is being accessed by computer, improperly removing memory cards, power failures etc. When file system get corrupted, the images stored on memory card become inaccessible resulting in loss of images. In few cases, you may accidentally delete the images from memory card when it is connected to system. When you delete images from memory card, they are not moved to Recycle Bin instead they bypass the Recycle Bin resulting in loss of images.

Always, take backup of essential images to avoid loss of images. Make use of “Safely Remove Hardware” icon to properly disonnect the memory card from computer.
