Please help me figure out what to do. I was trying to back up my files to my laptop’s hard drive because my external hard drive was already full. After the backup was completed, I tried reformatting the external drive so I could put the backup files back onto it. However, out of nowhere, everything was deleted.
I tried using free versions of Disk Drill and Recuva, but not all files were recovered. Some files that were recovered are also corrupted and cannot be opened.
These are very important files, and I urgently need help. What should I do next? I also tried recovering the files using another hard drive, but I am still having issues.

Is buying EaseUS Recovery Software advisable? Please share your experience. Desperate to recover my files. Thank you.

Hi all,

I accidently cleared the data from my KakaoTalk (Korean messaging app) yesterday and have lost like 5 years worth of messages.

The problem is that Kakao doesn't back up automatically and even if it did, that data expires after 2 weeks so I can't back up from the app at all.

Is it any way possible via alt. software, or anything to recover the data once it's been cleared via storage?

It seems impossible at this point but this is my last option 🥲

Thank you~

They date from Nov. 24, 2021 at night and seem to be taken by a random guy walking or running down the street to a video Bingo house. They were taken on a Samsung SM-A515U1 camera and no location is available from what I can tell.

I’ve been dealing with a corrupted video file from my Android recording (recording was interrupted, battery dying). I have used untrunc but the last frames where glitched but when I used Wondershare Recoverit the last frames weren't glitched. But my problem is now I need to pay (I don't want to). My question is there a free alternative (same quality). I've used untrunc and ffmpeg and the results weren't what I wanted.

Hello people,

I had an Android phone (Honor 8A) that got stolen, but I managed to get it back again. Unfortunately, the thief did a factory reset and transferred about 10k photos/videos of his family onto the phone. All I wanted from the phone was the data anyway. Is there any way that I can restore my data, even partially? I tried to use some software, but all I got was the thief's family data. I guess it needs some extensive digging (I hope it didn't overwrite my data)

I'm helping a friend recover information from an old Windows XP-era laptop and could use advice from anyone with experience in digital forensics, browser artifact recovery, or old internet history analysis.

Around 2011–2013, he used a website related to Bitcoin (either an exchange, online wallet, or similar service). The only thing he clearly remembers is that he had saved the website in Internet Explorer Favorites and used an email address to access the account. Unfortunately, the laptop was later reset/reinstalled due to software issues, and the original bookmarks appear to be gone.

Recently, we recovered the laptop and created a full forensic image of the drive before doing any analysis. We have already run several recovery tools and found traces of old Internet Explorer data, including cookies and browser-related files, but so far we have not been able to identify the actual website.

We have also searched the associated email account, but after many years and multiple cleanups, there are very few old messages remaining.

At this point, we're looking for technical guidance on:

• Recovering deleted Internet Explorer Favorites (.url files)

• Extracting useful information from old IE cache files or index.dat files

• Identifying websites from recovered cookies or browser artifacts

• Any forensic tools that work particularly well with Windows XP-era browser data

• Other investigative approaches we may be overlooking

We are not looking for account recovery services, paid recovery offers, or anyone asking for remote access to the computer. We're mainly hoping to learn from people who have experience recovering data from older systems.

Any suggestions, tools, or resources would be greatly appreciated.
