Recover deleted photo from computer?

Question

I deleted a picture from my computer about 6 months ago, is there anyway to restore it? I have already emptied my recylce bin, and have already done a system restore, with no luck. Any legit programs out there that will work?

Answer 1

From 6 months ago? no chance, it has been overwritten long ago. Since you have nothing to lose download (as in Save not Run) and run (no install needed) http://www.softperfect.com/products/file... in the name case put jpg or jpeg

Answer 2

Your out of luck.  There are recovery programs, but it is unlikely they would find your picture after all that time has passed.

What happens when you delete something is the space that it used is marked as "free/available for use".  Over time, another file will use that free space.  Recovery really only works for recent mistakes.

Answer 4

If you don't write any data on that drive it is possible

you can use some software like recovermyfiles or getdataback.

but if you write any data on it (probably you do this in 6 month) you can't do this properly.

Answer 5

I'm trying to do the same thing.

Use search on the start menu to see if it is still on the computer

if it was taken with a digital camera then you could check on that.

If it's not there - I don't think you can get it back  :[

Almost all the recovery softwares are bullshit. They recover files only if you erase them a few minutes ago or what.. And it still not sure lol..

I suggest you Power Data Recovery. It's an easy-to-use software. I've tried m.a.n.y recovery softwares and I haven't seen better than this one actually. That's the one I personally use and I'm very satisfied with it. But in fact, 6 months is a little bit too much. Whatever try with it, but if it doesn't work, I don't think you'll find any other ways to recover that picture unfortunately.

Here's the link to download it :

That version is special because it's PORTABLE. It means that you don't need to slow down your computer with a new installation.. To sum up, you just need to download it and then to click on it to use it ! (You can even take it with you in your usb key ;)

For any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me by mail.

Hope this helps.

P.s. Power Data Recovery is normally not a free software.

But this version is not only 'already-installed', it's also 'already-hacked'. Great, isn't it ?

(With a legit program you don't have ANY chance, trust me).
