App summary

DiskDigger can undelete and recover lost photos, images, or videos from your internal memory or external memory card. Whether you accidentally deleted a photo, or even reformatted your memory card, DiskDigger's powerful data recovery features can find your lost pictures and videos, and let you restore them.

You can upload your recovered files directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, or send them via email. The app also allows you to save the files to a different local folder on your device.

Note: DiskDigger requires the "Access all files" permission on your device, to be able to search all locations on the device for lost and recoverable photos. When you are asked for this permission, please enable it so that DiskDigger can search your device most effectively.

* If your device is not rooted, the app will perform a "limited" scan for your deleted photos or videos by searching your cache and thumbnails.

* If your device is rooted, the app will search all of your device's memory for any trace of photos, as well as videos!

* After the scan is complete, tap the "Clean up" button to permanently delete any items that you no longer need (currently an experimental feature, available only in the Basic Scan).

* You can also use the "Wipe free space" option to erase the remaining free space on your device, so that any deleted files can no longer be recoverable.

If you need to recover more types of files besides photos and videos, try DiskDigger Pro!

User reviews
Sadly, the functionality of this App. is disappointing, 'cause much higher quality would be expected, considering they're based in the U.S. The user's controls are extremely limited. It scans and finds EVERY SINGLE PICTURE in your device, so there's no practical way of knowing the difference between deleted photos from those still in your gallery, and if you use the recovery feature, you inevitably end up with duplicates. Now, if you only get 5 or 10 duplicates that's not a big deal, but...

I tried 5 other photo recovery apps before trying this one. It worked very well for me. It only showed the photos I deleted; I selected the ones I wanted to recover; I clicked the "Recover" button; it gave clear instructions that I had to choose the location on my phone to place the recovered photos; it listed the various locations on my photo; I selected the local wanted; pressed "ok"; and within one minute, it used my notification chime to tell me the photos I wanted recovered; all there!!!!!!

Thank you for saving my photos! I did a dumb thing and hadn't backed up my photos for many months. I don't trust the cloud so they aren't automatically backed up. Went to delete an unneeded photo and accidentally started deleting entire photo folder...cancelled it but not until 700 plus photos of my son and various memories were gone. Found a website that mentioned this app and was used it almost immediately after the catastrophe and recovered my pics. Out of order but that's ok. Whew!
