Tip. In order not to waste time scanning other directories, you can specify a separate folder. If you are not sure or want to increase the chances of recovery, select the root directory on the sd card.

Where are photos stored on a mobile device?

Typically, photos are stored in the DCIM folder. This is a universal storage location for mobile devices that support a memory card. This folder also stores camera images, downloaded images,s and other media files.

5. Enable the option “Deep scan”

Option “Deep Scan”. a branded feature of the Recuva program. Thanks to it, it is possible to detect files that are not normally searched. Although the method does not always work, the benefits can be tangible.

Activate the in-depth scan option through the Recuva main menu: Tools. Actions. Deep Analysis.

6. Run a scan of the memory card

  1. To start scanning an sd card, click “To begin”.
  2. Wait until the scanner checks the selected folder on the memory card. The process can take from several minutes to an hour.

7. Examine the photo, select the ones you need.

  4. In the Summary tab, file information: File name, Path, Date and time of change, as well as other data that can sometimes help. They are duplicated in columns. In the tab “View” the result is displayed as is: with or without damage.

Tip. If the files were not found, add the formats to search during setup by restarting the Recuva Setup Wizard. You can also do this through the advanced mode in the search bar. Try adding RAW.CR2.NEF or.ARW formats if you are looking for photos.

8. Save the recovered photos to disk

Check off the photos you want and click the button. “Restore”.

In a good way, deleted photos should always be saved to a disk different from where the files were deleted (especially when it comes to deleting files from the HDD). In our case, there is no difference. most importantly, do not save the files back to the sd card, otherwise you will lose additional chances for recovery.
