Couldn't Time Machine serve your needs? Recuva restores deleted files on your HDD, right? Assuming you've used Time Machine for quite some time, you should be able to find an older backup with the file that may have been deleted.

Let's assume he's lost photos on an SD card......

Anyhow, in all honesty, the very very best program I found so far is a windows program: PhotoRescue Advanced (or Pro, if you want).

It really digs what all other programs wouldn't be able to see anymore for me at least twice.

Using nothing less... I'd even setup a virtual machine just to be able to run that baby.

That having said, I'd try going to iusethis.com and searching something like "recover" or "restore" and maybe add "photo" if that is your specific wish.

Sort by usage or so and pick a few apps, google them.

That's not an alternative to this thread, hence I don't wanna see it getting closed or so haha, just saying, that whilst waiting for good answers you can feed your inner wish to "do something" about it :)

Thanks for the response. Yeah it's from an SD Card. Is that Photo Rescue free?

    • Secure wipe your Windows 11 device with this Data Shredder Stick, now 25% off

      This application is a scam. You can accomplish what this application does for free, if it actually even works which I doubt, with free applications. Do not support scams like this.
    • 2025 finally the Year of Linux? LibreOffice explains "real costs" of Windows 11

      By devHead · Posted

      Frankly, I have found my experience to be the complete opposite from yours. For example, I have a nice, high-end ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card installed - I've had it for 15+ years. Not one single Windows installation from Windows 7 through to 11 has ever detected it. Ever. However, every single Linux distribution has had drivers for it automatically in its kernel. I have never had to install them myself. And the Windows driver issues that plague this card (look up ASUS Xonar screeching) have never existed in Linux. As far as graphics and games and whatnot - I have an AMD Radeon card, so everything runs smooth as butter. Folks who complain and whine about Linux not working because they are using Nvidia cards shouldn't really blame Linux, but Nvidia. But frankly, Nvidia drivers for Linux work much better now. Maybe it's been a few years since you tried out a Linux distribution? I find that Windows, which treated me like a 4-year old with ADHD with all its constant nagging and suggestions everywhere in the apps I would run, was just not for me anymore. I know, Windows is very mature. But to say Linux is in its infancy is simply not true.
    • AMD quietly releases a new budget-friendly AM4 processor with 3D cache

      5000X3D never supported overclocking https://www.neowin.net/news/of...o-the-ryzen-7-5800x3d-soon/ also the X in Ryzen chips was originally meant to indicate chips that had a higher XFR (eXtended Frequency Range) compared to non-X chips. (now XFR is generally referred to as PBO)

      I think this advice is aimed at home users not professionals who can expense another PC. Still, there are web versions.
