Deleted Photo Recovery

January 29, 2008

People lose, destroy or mistakenly erase digital photos stored on their cameras removable storage media. These devices typically come in three varieties: Memory Sticks, Compact Flash cards and Secure Digital, or SD, cards. Most people think that if you accidentally or intentionally delete a photo from a memory card or a hard drive, it is gone for ever. But this is not true; those photos are still on the memory card and are recoverable.

When you realize that you have deleted photos from your memory card, the first thing you need to do is, to stop using that card entirely. Remove it from the camera, to make sure that you will not reuse it before the recovery of your deleted photos. This is the best thing you can do for yourself at this point.

Most cameras store images using the FAT file system. As an image is written to the card, the location on the card for that photograph is written to an index. When a file is erased, the information in the index is deleted the location is marked as available for more data to be recorded there. The original photo still exists; there is simply no index entry to point to the file. If no other write or format command is used on that space, the photos can be easily recovered. This is where the Photo Recovery Software comes in.
