SD card are essential for
phones that are in need of extra memory. Many of us use it for pictures, music
or video storage. There are times when situations are not in your favor.
My question to you is what
will you do if you accidentally delete or
format your SD card? Or maybe your SD card got corrupted, then how will you
deal with the problem?
Therefore today at
TechieOasis we are going to discuss the solution to the above mentioned
problem.
Applications are simplest to
recover. Apps that you installed on SD card can again be downloaded and
installed.
For other things there two
cases which commonly arises
Case 1: SD card recovery when you accidentally deleted files
You may or may not know
that deleting a file doesn’t actually delete it. At this point you might ask what
happen to file when I delete it? When you delete a file the space reserved by
the file is set to free. That means
if you just delete a file then your file is currently present at the same
place.
So to recover your deleted
files first thing you should do is stop using your memory card. Secondly,
safely remove your memory card from your phone and connect it to your laptop or
PC.
To recover the files we
are going to use some software’s. For this purpose we are going to use EaseUs Data recovery software. But to remind
you there are other recovery softwares like Recuva, cardrevory, etc. and all
works on the same fundamental principal
Open
software > select the folder or disk partition > Click recovery option
As per our tutorial using
EaseUs will be our target
Below is the step by step
tutorial on using EaseUs Data Recovery
At first download the
software according to your Operating software.
Here are the links
Now you are just 3 steps away from
recovering your deleted files
Step
1.
Open EaseUs recovery software and select the type of file you want to recover.
After choosing the required type, click “Next” button to proceed for the next
step.
Step
2.
Select your SD card from which you lost your files and click on Scan button and
wait for the software to scan for your files.
Step
3.
After your scan is complete, you can preview the files. While previewing if you
find your files worth recovering then click on Recover button present at
the bottom. As a precaution save your file on another disk space so that your deleted file disk space is not
overwritten.
Another software which I personally
tested is Recuva
It has the same procedure
as EaseUs
Step
1.
Launch the Recuva software and select the file type you want to recover and
click on Next button.
Step
2.
Select the location of file which you want to scan for recovery. If you are not
sure then choose the first option “I’m not sure” and click next. You will we
asked whether you want to Deep Scan the disk or not? You can go with the
default setting and click next. But if you didn’t find the file then you have
to repeat the procedure and select “Deep Scan” option and click Next button.
Step
3.
You can preview the files and recover them, as well.
Case 2: SD card recovery in case
where you formatted the card
Recovering data after you
format your card is little tough and uncertain but recovery principle is same
as we used for recovering deleted files.
Stop using the card
and safely remove it from your phone.
Connect your SD card to computer and follow exactly the same steps as we
followed above.
