What is horror? Horror is when you discover that your assistant has just formatted your storage device and all the images you took from your previous job have disappeared. Horror is when you have been studying or working 20-hour days leading you to delete that important file you’ve been working on and you realize it somehow bypassed the Recycle Bin. Horror is when you discover your kid’s first birthday bash photos have been erased from your camera. Can you imagine the picture? There’s no need to trigger a DEFCON 1 alert for there is a technique to recover deleted photos easily.
First, do no further damage by not doing anything that can overwrite your erased photos or files. This implies gathering your wits about you, making sure the deleted pictures or files are really not in the location or the device you stored them in, without storing any new data on it. See, each time you save new information or data on your computer or the device the probabilities of recovering your data (and they are still hiding somewhere in the system) get slimmer. So resist any temptation to install or save new data.
