How To Recover Data From An SD Card
My Samsung Galaxy phone had a 30 GB SD Card which was used by the camera for photos and videos. Other data had also been moved to external storage - the SD Card - to minimize the demand on the phone's internal storage.
Unfortunately, one day all the photos seemed to disappear. Gone. A couple of months since a previous backup too!
I removed the SD card from the phone, forced the camera and other apps to use the Internal storage, and tried to figure out how to recover lost data from a SD card which has been corrupted or deleted.
Possible Solutions
I tried these steps first.
- Use a card Reader
- The SD Card was removed from the phone. Placing it in a card reader connected to my laptop with USB I used Windows Explorer to view the content. About 30 MB. Way short of what would have really been there! No photos or videos found. Folders empty. It would have been easy to overwrite the data I wanted to recover.
- Samsung Kies
- This application is supposed to help with transferring files,
