Deleted Photos

[Lauren]

Does anyone know a way of retrieving deleted photos/files from an SD card from a digital camera? A friend has accidently deleted some important photos and wonders if theres any way to retrieve given they were deleted from the card as opposed to the card being formatted.

There are loads of utilities available to help your friend out here. If you are looking for freeware utilities, you could have a rattle off "restoration", or one of the other ones listed here:

I've not used any of them myself, so use at your own risk

Cabbage,

Thanks to your advice, my friend was able to restore the photos he had accidently deleted. He came back to work today and asked me to pass on his sincere thanks for the link you provided as he was able to find a brilliant tool that restored precious photos of his daughter decorating the Christmas tree.. (I think the link also helped reconcilation with a wife who wasn't too impressed when he deleted the photos in the first place).

Hi there..I'm sorry..the friend is no longer in Ireland so I can't remember which utility he used. He followed the link from Cabbage above and was thrilled with the results and avoided almost certain divorce from his wife who was upset about the loss of the pics! ;-)
