I accidentally deleted a folder containing 600 mb of photos and videos from my Samsung. Google turns up some incredibly suspicious sites with direct links to .exe's. I've tried a few pieces of software but it seems like they either want me to root my phone or turn on mass storage -- and mass storage seems to be impossible with the newest Android update. Does anyone have experience with recovering deleted files on a smartphone? It's a Galaxy S3.

This is not possible, once the pictures were deleted the flash memory that held them was erased pretty much immediately. On older devices and harddrives you had a chance to recover the data before it was overwritten, but this isn't how things work anymore. Edit: Actually, to confirm, you are talking about photos stored on the SGS3's internal memory, NOT a MicroSD card, right? Deleted files ARE recoverable from the MicroSD card but not from the eMMC memory. File recovery became impossible in KitKat and later for supported devices. Bonus Edit: This was also more of an Inspect Your Gadgets question, but I own an SGS3 and am pretty familiar with how the storage subsystem works.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry 'bout the wrong forum. Yeah, it was the internal memory. I hope I backed it up somewhere.
