skippybangkok Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Left all common sense behind and did not make a back up before fiddling with my pics. In a nut shell, "moved" all the pics from my Nikon 3100 to my PC, for first time merged my iPhone pics ( removing duplicates ). As some things were messed, wanted to rename files in bulk in MS picture manager - NEVER EVER DO THAT. It overwrites existing pics without warning. Long and the short, the pics from the Nikon are gone as I did a move On normal hard drives, you can undelete files some times, can this be done on them flash cards ( I think it's a Kingston ) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinx Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) It's not a question of hard drive types, it's a question of what did your software actually do when you moved/renamed/whatever. Look for hidden folders with names like .Trash (note the leading dot) and see what you can find. Could be anywhere on your system but most likely in your users root directory. Then write out 100 times "I will make backups before messing".. Edited December 16, 2012 by jpinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob7 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 As long, you 're not taking more pictures, you have a good chance, to restore them. Get yourself a recovery tool freeware, that isn't only showing, but await a pay, to recover. Google will get you all your need. Important: don't save anything on that memory card, now!

p_brownstone Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) You can try this : http://www.cardrecoverypro.com/ Patrick Edit : to add as Noob7 says - do not write anything else to the Card until you try to recover the old Files!

MJCM Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 A friend's daughter removed all Pictures (by mistake) from his Camera. He removed the SD card from his camera, set it to Locked and then connected it to his computer with a Card Reader. Then he used a program like Recuva (free: http://www.piriform.com/recuva ) to recover all of the deleted pics to his computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accidently deleted an entire video multi-gigabyte directory on my multi-media drive, too big for the trash can. Used this and got it back. But as mentioned, very important to not write anything on it until recovery completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiu-Jitsu Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Similar thing happened to a friend. Corrupted flash card. Recuva wasn't much good, but Ashampoo GetBack Photo recovered everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippybangkok Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks guys ........... Results........... Ashampoo could only recover 2 our 1500 pics.............. Recuva after clicking on the "deep scan" can recover about 1200 ............ Maybe Ashampoo might work well in other cases, in my case Recuva did the trick, Really appreciated !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. I used Recuva at first and it really didn't do the trick, but that could have been because the card was corrupted, as opposed to the media being deleted or formatted. Either way, glad you got your stuff back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisa Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 There are a bunch of free utilities out there that you can use to see what can easily be undeleted. This one (http://www.recovermyfiles.com/) will let you see the images and tell you if they can be recovered but you then need to purchase the program if you want to actually recover them.

JakeBKK Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 yes. unless you did use the card so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
