Guide for Retrieving Deleted Files on Samsung Galaxy A8
=====================================================================
If you've accidentally deleted photos or videos from your Samsung Galaxy A8 or A8+ and don't have a backup, fear not! There are several methods available to help you recover your lost data.
One effective approach is to use a specialized photo recovery app, such as Deleted Photo Recovery, available on the Google Play Store. This app scans both internal and external storage for deleted photos and lists them with previews, allowing selective restoration back to your gallery. It can find photos deleted even before the app was installed [1].
Another option is to use a more comprehensive tool like DroidKit, available from Imobie, on a computer. Install DroidKit on your PC, connect your Galaxy device, and use its Deep Recovery Mode to scan for deleted photos (and other file types) without needing a backup. It provides options to preview and recover files efficiently [3].
These recovery apps work by scanning your phone’s storage for data remnants that have not yet been overwritten. To maximise your chances of successful recovery, it is highly suggested to stop using your phone when you come to know that all your photos, videos, and other files are lost, to avoid overwriting existing data [2].
Software like DroidKit may require a computer connection and possibly some permissions for deep scanning. Some apps (like Deleted Photo Recovery) work fully on-device and do not require root but may have limitations depending on how long ago photos were deleted and storage usage since then [1].
To use these apps, follow these general steps:
- Download and install the recovery app on your device or PC.
- Run the scan to detect deleted photos.
- Preview found photos and select which to restore.
- Save recovered photos back to your phone storage.
Alternatively, you can recover deleted photos and videos from the phone's Recycle Bin. To do this, open the Gallery, click on three dots, go to Settings, click on Recycle Bin, and find the photos to be restored [1].
These methods offer a practical way to recover deleted photos on Samsung Galaxy A8/A8+ without needing previous backups [1][3]. It's always a good idea to regularly back up your data to prevent data loss in the future.
