Some people may think that photos will disappear after being deleted for good. But it is not the fact. The deleting operation just changes the status of photos in FAT (or $MFT) and also hides the photos, which causes the false appearance that disk space that deleted files had occupied is released and available for storing other data. As a matter of fact, deleted photos still exist in the original position. However, if there is new data having been written in the space, deleted photos will be overwritten, which will make it hard or even impossible to recover deleted photos. That is why we always emphasize that don’t do any reading or writing operations after noticing important photos are deleted by mistake.
In order to avoid data losing, it is suggested to back up important data in time during using different devices. However, please do not worry if you deleted photos in PC by mistake although you haven’t backup them. There is a strong possibility to get back photos as long as we use correct methods.
