deleting photos usually means putting them in the trash bin, put the memory stick back in your computer and open up your trash bin, they SHOULD still be there, but possibly not.
If it is a flash drive then you could use a recovery program to get them back. If it is one of those camera memory sticks then I have never heard of a way to get them off, but you could scan some forums.
or if you haven't closed the window yet then just try an undo...
and try to be more careful next time.
You can try a file recovery program like Recuva - [URL Truncated] - but any file fragmentation will hinder your efforts. And chances are that the files were fragmented from the moment they were first stored.
Answer by Nahum on 07 Jan 2010 01:25:45There are many variables in this that should be considered. If you can give more information it could be helpful in answering your question. What kind of camera are you using? What format are you shooting? RAW, JPEG, CR2 , TIFF?
For most uses, DataRescue, RescuePRO, or Digital image recovery will be able to recover your lost images as long as you haven't written anything to your card (AKA taken any pictures on that card). If you have used the camera since then, your images are, unfortunately, not recoverable.
Digital image recovery is available at [URL Truncated] I would try that one first.
If you can give more information, perhaps I can help narrow things down more. Good luck
You can very often recover deleted pictures from a camera memory card or USB Memory stick. However, to increase the chances of being able to recover pictures after they have been deleted you must not save any new photos, files or data to it.
When you delete pictures (or any files) from a memory card or USB memory device the data itself isn't deleted, just the file system pointers that says where the data for those files is located. The area where the deleted picture data was stored is also now marked as free space so it is available to the system for any new files to be written there instead.
If and when that happens, then it is too late to recover your deleted pictures so it is very, very important that new pictures or files aren't saved to the memory card in the meantime.
One of the easiest ways to see if your deleted pictures can be recovered is to try some photo recovery software.
One tip is to try a trial version of a commercial product that will scan the memory card for deleted pictures and show you exactly what pictures can be recovered as thumbnail images in the preview screen. At least that will show you if you can recover the deleted pictures or if it's too late already.
