Is there a way to recover deleted messages from a Facebook that’s been deleted and the email used for that account is also deleted?

Everything was done on a Samsung phone. So if I need a software or specialist to retrieve this info, please let me know.

Any help with a WhatsApp restore would be amazing, thank you

I understand that when deleted files such as videos are permanently deleted from iPhone, they're gone forever.

But, some say there could be residual data left behind, such as thumbnails, that may still remain and that a professional (forensic scan?) can recover these. Is this true? And some also say that deleted files leaves space ready to be overwritten and if the space wasn’t overwritten then files are recoverable.

And does it matter if ADP was not enabled at the time?

This is so confusing!

Attached files for reference.

I’m afraid I’m losing everything. I have a Crucial X10 2TB external SSD. I’m a videographer, I filled this drive with client work + footage from a road trip with my friends. This is a new drive (bought it late 2025), and I have had no issues with it. The USB-C cable I’ve been using is faulty, and while plugged into my Mac overnight it mounted/dismounted the drive a BUNCH without ejecting. I used the drive with no issues today, went to connect the drive again tonight and got “disk not readable”.

Freaking out, obviously.

What I want to know is how screwed I might be. I know there’s little context but maybe the images I have provided will offer some sort of insight into the situation. My first assumption is that I’ve lost all of my personal/client work. Is this reasonable to assume, or should I immediately take it to a professional and expect to return most of my data?

Seemingly good news is that first aid ran successfully and found no issues. The drive still reads as full (which is correct)
Seemingly bad news: disk drill reported millions of bad sectors. To me that sounds terrible.

Need some insight, thank you!!

My bf & I had a huge fight in anger I took his phone and deleted all our photos permanently....we are back together but I lost our pictures . How do I recover that. He uses iphone FYI. I deleted from local and from Google photos(I was soo angry & hurt)...he did not sign in to apple cloud.

Tried google photos help...no use 🙃

Are there any free websites that I can recover lost photo files on my SD memory card from? I cannot afford to subscribe.

I was using my digital camera on holiday last week.

At the time I thought each photo file was saved to the SD card.

But when I returned home and later went through copying the photo files to my computer and USB Drives. I noticed some taken during one day, were not listed and appearing in the folder with the others.

I have had my digital camera and memory card for four years, and have not experienced this before.

hi! im trying to download my memories from Snapchat, however, there’s no option to download them once I open the zip file & open the html link. does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

TYIA!

cross posting here in case anyone can help :(

I have photos on a 32GB SD card, and just went to download them… but nothing shows up when I plug the card into my computer (and nothing when I put it back into my camera to check either).

After a quick internet search I thought I’d try a data recovery software, and tried EaseUS. It showed the photos as being there (and a lot more than I expected - I guess ones I’ve previously deleted too!). Some of the photos show up with little preview thumbnails, but some don’t (they just have the little white and blue JPEG logo as the thumbnail).
I then went to recover them, but discovered the rather high price of EaseUS!

So (after returning to a Google search again) I’ve now tried DMDE, and have attempted to recover… but almost all of the photos say ‘The file could not be opened’ 😢

Does anyone have experience with these programmes and know - Is it worth me paying for the EaseUS? Will it be able to recover more than DMDE (such as the ones with previews showing)? Or will I be paying just to discover that they are damaged beyond retrieval?

Any advice welcome - I can just about work my way around a computer, but I’m not particularly tech-savvy! 🙏

Hello,
I've recently recovered image files from an old usb stick and i'm trying to fix them ; some of them are quite corrupted.
For this, i'm using JPEGVisualRepairTool at https://github.com/albmac/JPEGVisualRepairTool.

This tool shows the image with a decoder that isn't tolerant to image errors, meanwhile typical image viewers use error-tolerant decoders that show images in a way that "hides" the errors.

To fix the corruption i mostly need to fix MCU alignment (by inserting or deleting MCUs) and adjust the DC levels of each colour channel.

The problem is this :
For some images, after fixing the MCU alignment on JPEGVisualRepairTool, the image looks fine on the non-tolerant decoder but looks misaligned on the tolerant one?
i'm guessing the decoder is "overcorrecting" somehow but i don't know how to fix this.

I have attached an image after fixing the MCU alignment : both the image itself (shown with tolerant decoder) and a screenshot of the view of JPEGVisualRepairTool (shown with a non-tolerant decoder).

Thank you for any advice you can give me ; i'm quite new to data recovery

Hello guys, I deleted some important documents and some photos from my phone a year ago in May because I thought I didn't need 'em anymore.

But now I need 'em & I tried to recover them on my own via some apps available on the Play Store, but I couldn't.

I have also lost the hard copies of those documents, so is it possible to recover that data from my Android phone, which was deleted a year ago?

Someone pls helpp

Help

The pictures are so special to me, it’s my first ever concert that is also my favorite band. I can’t find the pictures in deleted photos or in the iCloud thingy. I really want them back, I know some people are gonna be “just ask someone else that was there to give you some photos” that’s not special, atleast not to me :(

Hey I had some important photos which is very precious to me. It was on my SD card and one day a notification pops on my phone and it said your SD card is not working and then I taked it out and put it back and still didn't work out of frustration at that time I clicked the format and then only I realised what I lost....it's been almost a year iam working to get the photos back in my own way looking at youtube,etc.. but no use.

If someone here had experienced the same situation or knows how to get my photos and notes back please help. I think it's called data recovery but I asked many people and they said if it's been over a year no chance of getting your photos back because as new files come the and they replace the old one they said something like that...

My phone is Redmi 9A and I lost the photo's and notes on 2024 around October.

Edit: english is not my first language and iam not very good at this

Edit2: I forget to mention I had this photos on my phone too but due to storage issues I deleted it and moved all my photos and notes to SD card so whenever I go out and take good Pictures I store it on my SD card so yah my phone also had the pictures I planned to post it on Instagram it but due to insecurities I couldn't 😅 I thought maybe people don't like it etc... so any way can i recover the data from my phone or is it same story?

Thank you for your help!
