Sometimes you accidentally delete files from the memory card of your phone or camera, and want to find a way to recover them. There are many software programs designed for restoring deleted pictures and other files from cards used in digital cameras including SD, CF, xD cards, memory stick, microDrive, SmartMedi Card, MMC, MicroSD, MiniSD and SDHC. These programs can recover lost, deleted, formatted or corrupted photos.
Instructions
1. Use the program "CardRecovery," a photo recovery software for memory cards. You can download its free trial from its website. After downloading, double-click and run the installer, click "Next" on the welcome page and specify a drive letter for your camera or card reader (through whichever medium the computer is reading the card). Click "Next" and the program will start scanning. It should take a few minutes for the scanning to complete, after which it will show you the thumbnails of the deleted pictures. Select the pictures and click "Next." Your deleted pictures should now be restored.
2. Install the program "Memory Card Recovery." After installing the program, run it and connect the camera or the card reader with the card inside it to the computer. Then select the camera/card reader drive from the left panel on the application window and click the "Recover" button with the memory card icon on it. The program will then scan the images it can detect. When it finds them, select the ones that are to be restored and click "Restore."
3. Recover photos with the program "Recover My Photos." Download and install its trial version and launch the program. Connect the camera or the card reader to the computer. Now the program will automatically scan the memory card and will show you the thumbnails of deleted photos. To recover them, you will have to purchase the program's license key for $39.95 as of 2011. After activating the purchased software, your pictures will be restored on the memory card.
