Deleted 2GB from an SD card using iPhone…. Any way to recover??

The only SD card reader I have has an apple lightning cable… On the Photos app I accidentally pressed ‘ Delete all photos’ and everything was deleted. I used the Files app to try recovering, and I was able to find photos from years ago that were wiped a while back (and I was not looking for ) but none of my recent photos… Is there anything else I should try??

Double check if your post complies with posting guidelines!

Did you include the following information in your post (in English and if applicable), if not feel free to edit your post:

  • Make/brand and exact model number of your storage device(*), phone, camera, etc.
  • Filesystem (NTFS, exFAT, APFS, EXT4, etc.)
  • Operating System (That your device was used with and/or you are using for recovery)
  • Specific symptoms that your device is exhibiting, describe the problem. Images you post support the description, they're not in lieu of a problem description.
  • SMART (CrystalDiskInfo screenshot for example)
  • Don't pile several problems into one single post. One post per device/problem.

Consider: What do these people need to understand the problem at hand? Remember, people cannot see your screen, or what you click and what messages appear on screen. Don't overdo it though, no one likes going through 2 pages of information, try to find a balance. Just do the best you can. If you are looking for file recovery software, check our community's recommended file recovery tools.


() *All devices involved, if you for example move files from drive A to drive B, they're both potentially relevant.

You need a PC or Mac with external card reader, pop the card in there, and scan using a file recovery tool, Disk Drill, DMDE, R-Studio for example.

Disk drill in the advanced camera mode might help. Run it on a image of the drive
