How to Recover Accidentally "Deleted All" Photos

A photograph is the best way to capture a moment and hold onto it for life. The best thing about it is, no matter how you have the photo saved, if after a few years you realize that you don't want that particular photo, you can simply delete it. Often when you have a sack-full of pictures, you feel like cutting out the 'not-so-nice' ones. Sometimes due to some silly mistake, we end up deleting pictures that we want. More often than not, we don't even keep back-ups of the images. This means that once we delete those photographs, we have nothing to compensate their loss. All the repenting doesn't help the deed that's done. At such times you can use a photo recovery software to recover the pictures.

An instance of the above situation could arise when you have wedding pictures where the camera-man takes a lot of unwanted ones. You decide you want to delete some of them before you make copies of the CD to distribute to among friends and family. Instead of just a few of your pictures being removed, all of them get deleted. You go to the recycle bin, but they aren't there either.

The reason for this is that most of us have a habit of pressing "SHIFT" while deleting anything. When you right click to delete images, the "DELETE" and "DELETE ALL" option are one after the other. It's possible that instead of choosing the former option, you chose the latter one. When you press "SHIFT + DELETE ALL" every photo in the folder gets deleted permanently. These will not be in the "recycle bin" either.

These pictures can still be recovered. If you have a back-up, nothing like it, just restore the picture from there. In case you don't have one, you can use a photo recovery software and recover lost photos. Even after the pictures have been deleted from your computer, the file system of the computer stores them. This enables specially designed software to scan it and retrieve photos. You must ensure to use a safe one, since using any counterfeits could cause irreversible damage to the pictures.

Photo Recovery is a digital photo recovery tool. It has a simple GUI which also gives users thumbnail previews of the recoverable data. The software supports all popular image, audio and video file formats (JPEG, JPG, BMP, AVI, MOV, WAV etc.) allowing you to salvage photos and videos with just one software.
