Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

DiskDigger can undelete and recover lost photos, images, videos, documents, or other types of non-media files 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, videos, or other data, 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 files. 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" search for your lost files by performing a full search of your existing internal storage, thumbnail caches, databases, and more. * If your device is rooted, the app will search all of your device's memory for any trace of photos, videos, and certain other types of files. * 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 even more types of files, or for recovering the files directly over SFTP and other methods, try DiskDigger Pro!
