About this app

DiskDigger can undelete and recover lost photos, images, or videos from your internal memory or external memory card. Whether you accidentally deleted a photo, or even reformatted your memory card, DiskDigger's powerful data recovery features can find your lost pictures and videos, and let you restore them.

You can upload your recovered files directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, or send them via email. The app also allows you to save the files to a different local folder on your device.

Note: DiskDigger requires the "Access all files" permission on your device, to be able to search all locations on the device for lost and recoverable photos. When you are asked for this permission, please enable it so that DiskDigger can search your device most effectively.

* If your device is not rooted, the app will perform a "limited" scan for your deleted photos or videos by searching your cache and thumbnails.

* If your device is rooted, the app will search all of your device's memory for any trace of photos, as well as videos!

* After the scan is complete, tap the "Clean up" button to permanently delete any items that you no longer need (currently an experimental feature, available only in the Basic Scan).

* You can also use the "Wipe free space" option to erase the remaining free space on your device, so that any deleted files can no longer be recoverable.

For complete instructions, please see http://diskdigger.org/android

If you need to recover more types of files besides photos and videos, try DiskDigger Pro!

Looking to recover some images I'd accidentally deleted, including from the recycle bin, I was thrilled to find this app claiming the ability to recover deleted files. It managed to locate nearly 2000 images on my phone that it could "recover". Sadly where I take "recover" to mean that it can get back, retrieve, undelete, rescue etc. files deleted in error the developers seem to think it means to display all the image files that haven't been deleted. I already have Gallery to show me those. 🤦‍

Not perfect but managed to retrieve a few memories with it. A couple of things that could be made better. The min file size should be more intuitive & by the time you get a chance to toggle the settings the scan has already found hundreds of images. Sort by size isn't much help either. I know my photos are upwards of 2gb, but it only finds a handful of them. A sort by date would be extremely helpful. It's also turning up duplicates & a lot of them & even with the thumbnail view set to large, it's hard to see what is actually being found. When you do retrieve them, it's a bit of a hunt to find where they are saved & none of them are zoomable any more.

Well, I was very disappointed to discover that I could only recover my photos as thumbnails. I was surprised that this is the case even for the premium app unless I "root" my phone, and I am definitely not adept enough to chance that route. I will no longer depend on transferring photos to the SD card in my phone, which is how I lost them. Thankfully I have posted a few faves to FB over the last few months, and emailed others. Lesson: don't store all your eggs in one basket!
