How to Recover Deleted Files from Android Internal storage

"How to recover deleted data, photos, and videos from Android internal storage?"


"I don't have an external sd card, everything was saved to internal memory. Woke up one morning and all my photos under the default camera folder in gallery were gone! All that was left were the photos in the subfolders I created to sort the pics. I'm using Galaxy Note 4. Is there any way to full recover these files?"

The internal storage located inside your Android phone is a place designed for saving files. When you delete a file, usually you just delete the address or the name of this item. The deleted file still temporally exists. That is, the file is recoverable as long as this storage space's address hasn't been overtaken by newer items' name. Internal memory recovery is possible.


So the best way to recover lost or formatted data from Android phone internal storage is to download and use software on computer instead of using recovery apps like gt data recovery on Android device.
