How To Recover Deleted Files From SD Card

A collection of SD cards and a USB drive compatible with SecureRecovery® for Flash.

Free SD card file recovery software can sometimes restore deleted data or repair corruption. Our experts developed SecureRecovery® for Flash to address these situations. The software allows users to reduce downtime and reverse data loss from logical errors. Download the free program to a separate device and scan the flash storage for recoverable data.

Deleting files or formatting SD cards is one of the most common causes of data loss. In many cases, data recovery software can quickly restore those files. We have designed specific tools to retrieve this data.

Follow these steps to recover deleted files from the SD card:

  • Install SecureRecovery® for Flash for free and launch the software.
  • Choose Open Partition from the menu.
  • Select the device to scan when prompted and click OK.
  • Choose the files to recover after the scan locates data.
  • Click Save Selected Items to restore the deleted files to a new folder.

Note: Software might not detect all deleted or corrupted files. Your card could require more advanced software and manual file repair. Contact one of our experts for a free consultation.

Good Service

Although the data I could not be recovered, I appreciate the responsiveness as well as the in depth explanation as to why. Will definitely leverage this company in the future (hopefully not) should I require recovery services.
