Restoring files from the sd card after formatting

Recovery of files from the SD card after formatting may be possible, but not always guaranteed. Here are some steps you can try:

1. Stop using the card: Stop writing new data to the SD card and remove it from the device.

2. Use a specialized software tool: There are many software tools for data recovery from formatted or deleted hard drives. Some of the most popular ones include Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Disk Drill.

3. Connecting to a computer: If your SD card supports reading via a USB adapter or card reader, connect it to the computer before running the data recovery software.

4. Start the scan: Reject all offers for a quick scan - will choose a full (deep) scan to increase the probability of a successful result.

5. Selection of required files: When the process is finished, you should receive a list of found files. Be sure to preview each file, if available - this way, you can make sure that the files are restored correctly.

6. Data storage: If the found files meet your expectations and requirements, save them on another drive or computer. DO NOT save data back to the SD card.

Important note: Data recovery after formatting can only be successful if new data has not been overwritten. The earlier the recovery process starts, the more chances to recover the lost information.

However, it should be remembered that the result may depend on various factors (such as the format of the card, the time of use after formatting), so success is not guaranteed.
