It will restore data after formatting the memory card

Data recovery after formatting the memory card is possible, but not always guaranteed. Here are some steps you can take to recover lost files:

1. Stop using the memory card: After formatting, it is very important to stop writing new data to the memory card or use it further. This will help to avoid overwriting old deleted files.

2. Use a specialized software tool: There are many programs and utilities for data recovery from formatted drives, such as Recuva (for Windows), PhotoRec (a cross-platform solution) or Disk Drill (a version available for both Windows and Mac). Install only verified applications from official developer sites.

3. Connect the card to the computer: If your card is a microSD card or another type of flash drive with a USB/SD adapter slot, connect it directly to the computer through this adapter or use an SD/MicroSD Card Reader.

4. Start the selected data recovery program: Start the program and follow the instructions for scanning the memory card. Please note that the process may take some time, especially if the card has a large volume or has been formatted several times.

5. Select files to restore: After scanning, the program will display a list of found files. Mark the files you want to recover and select a location on your computer where you would like to save these data (not to the memory card itself).

6. Copy all found data: Start from the beginning - check all results before deleting temporary information about files from the RAM of the data reader or closing the data recovery application.

Important note:
It is not always possible to completely recover data lost after formatting. It depends on the type of disk cleaning/physical formatting algorithms used
