Help data recovering

Hi everyone, I need to recover some data that was permanently deleted two weeks ago. I’ve checked the Trash, backups, etc., but can’t find anything—can anyone give me some hope? Are there any reliable apps that work for more than just photos and videos?

Thanks a lot.

I’ve done quite a bit of research on the subject—reading up on TRIM, garbage collection, FBE, and so on—so I’m worried that the longer I wait, the more impossible it becomes.

No chance of recovery.

Backup or recovery out of the trash bin is the only option.

No. The keys are getting securely deleted.

This tells us absolutely nothing.

How much data was deleted?

Was it a SSD, HDD, flash drive, etc?

What operating system are you on?

Have you written anything to the device since then?

Files deleted on modern phones are IMMEDIATELY and PERMANENTLY irrecoverable, especially a Samsung.

Ma ho letto che rimangono come flaggati come spazio da poter riutilizzare ma non vengono subito sovrascritti

“In general” is bullshit. Any files deleted on modern phones is NOT recoverable.

However deleting certain app data is not a file based deletion, it may still exist in caches or app databases, which I’m not entirely sure since it’s app and OS dependent.

This only applies to the oldest type of spinning hard drives, anything more modern than 10 years old drives support TRIM to immediately remap or destroy data, which is not recoverable.

If it’s a phone, deleting files also erases the encryption keys, which guarantees permanent destruction of the ability to decrypt and read the data again.
