(Tricks)Recover your lost files, pictures, videos on Android device

One wrong move, navigating too quickly or an evil bug: there are many unfortunate events that can lead to accidentally deleting a file, video or pictures. But not all is lost! Today we’ll show you how you can recover these lost files that you hold dear from the catacombs of Android with two easy methods.

With your PC
You don’t really need to have root access on your Android device to be able to retrieve the lost files, videos or pictures from your smartphone or tablet. What you will need though is a computer and a program such as Recuva.

• Connect your device to the PC. Launch Recuva Select your device from
• the list on the top right side and click on scan.
• Once the scan is
  done, select the file and click recover.
• A preview of your file isn’t
  available, but don’t worry, it’s completely normal. This time, make
  sure you save your files on your computer. Here’s another tip: with
  Recuva you can also check many files to be able to recover them all
  at the same time.

You can also use a Recuva alternative called 7-Data Recovery, which works generally the same way.
With an app
Many apps allow you to do the entire procedure right from your Android device, but you need to have root access in advance. An recommendable app is DiskDigger, which allow you to dig up files from the internal storage or microSD card.
The functions are similar to the PC procedure mentioned above. Simply start a scan of your device, and then select the files that you want to recover. You can easily preview the pictures and videos that were deleted and the application also makes it possible to have them sent to you via email.
