If you accidentally delete something, remember to try to restore it as soon as possible so that it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.

Understanding Folders

It can be difficult to keep your devices up and running, especially if something goes wrong. Sometimes the user is to blame - for example, if their SD card gets corrupted or they experience a phone crash. But even if something goes wrong, it’s not always the user’s fault. You can lose folders from corrupt SD cards or unexpectedly crashing phones.

There are a few ways to recover lost files on a modern phone. The first is to try and use the built-in features of your phone. If you can’t find the file or it’s not in your storage, you can also try using a recovery software.

Recovery

If you’re using a cloud backup service like Google Photos, OneDrive, or Dropbox, it’s possible that your data is being backed up to the cloud in the background.
