Hi

If photos are deleted, I gather recuva should be able to recover them.

What happens if the card has been formatted by that option on the camera, should they still be easily recoverable?

Does it matter or make any difference to recovery whether they have just been deleted or the card formatted, as long as they haven't been overwritten with new photos ?

Thanks.

If the card has been reformatted, then Recuva is curently not able to recover the files.

Hello,

I accidentally formatted my SD card of my digital camera.
When scanning with Recuva, It founded around 540 files, but at the end it reported an error and I could not access the jpg files.

How do I recover this files that it found??

thanks!!
