Is it Possible to Recover Deleted or Lost Photos?
When you accidentally delete or lose photos from your computer or an external device like camera, drones, smartphones, SD cards or USBs, they are not erased completely. The memory space used to store deleted/lost photos are marked as ready to be overwritten by the new data. Hence it is recommended to stop using your computer or external hard drive after you have lost photos. This will ensure the photos aren't overwritten and also increases the chances of photo recovery.
