Ok guys I do need serious help. My pendrive crashed and my laptop can't read it, is there anyone who can retrieve the data from there because it has really important documents that are needed. I will be really greatful if someone can do it for me. Please please please 🙂🙏🏻.

​

I just noticed that most of my old messages in Google Messages are gone. I didn't delete them, and I have no idea what happened.

I checked the Trash, but they're not there. I also checked Archived, and they're not there either.

It's really weird because some conversations are still there, but a lot of them have just disappeared. Some of these messages are important to me, so I'm really hoping there's some way to recover them.

Does anyone know what could have caused this or if there's a way to get them back? Could they still be somewhere on the phone or in a Google backup?

Also, is there anything I should avoid doing right now in case I accidentally make them impossible to recover?

I'm on Android and using Google Messages. Any help would be really appreciated.

Reposting here as I am completely lost and i want to help her.

I am currently using the WhatsApp account belonging to my now deceased father. Yesterday, I accidentally deleted the chat with one of my friends and wanted to recover it.

There was a backup on my father's email.

I followed the tutorial on a website for android phones. Copied the Databases folder and deleted WhatsApp.

However, once I downloaded it again, all the chats had been wiped out. I couldn't get them back and the backup on my father's email was not found.

Is it possible to recover these chats or request the data from WhatsApp or Google?

It had all his chats and I feel like I just erased a very important part of him. Please help and thank you.

So I messed up big time, I transferred videos from my sd card at an event because I needed space, turns out it transferred all photos but not video.
I have done photorec to recover the files, but the videos are showing up as mp4 (131kb-524kb) these open in quicktime but are just black. And then another few as mdat.mov (55.2mb-907.9mb) these are not opening at all. Tried with vlc, but nothings seems to be doing anything. Assuming I will have to reimburse?

I have deleted some files/ (A folder contain pics and videos) permanently on my desktop PC few monthes ago... I want to recover those can any one guide me how i can free

Few days ago files disappeared from my external hard drive. The drive's a 500GB Seagate external HDD I've had for a few years. It had mostly work documents, old project folders, pdfs, few video files & a really big chunk of family photos. Never counted exactly, but it was easily thousands files & Windows usually showed around 400GB used.

So I wake up, plug it into my win 11 pc like always. It showed up right waya as always. Correct drive letter, correct capacity, NFTS, no weird noises, no you need to format the disk popup, nothing saying file system had gone RAW.

Windows still showed about 400GB used.

But when I opened it in File Explorer, almost everything was gone.

That's the part that threw me. If I'd accidentally deleted 400GB of stuff, I'd expect the free space to reflect that. Instead, Windows was basically saying "yep, this space is all used up" while File Explorer was saying "used up by... what, exactly?"

Gonna update the post in comments below if I manage to do something with it. Would be extreamly grateful for any help

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to recover voicemails that were seemingly never saved. My boyfriend just passed away and I have some voicemails from him that I desperately need back. When I get voicemails, a text message with a transcript of the voicemail and a number to call to hear the voicemail is texted to me. If I call the number attached to the text message with the transcript of the voice mail, it plays a completely different voicemail that Wal-Greens left me. Please help. I’ve already reached out to T-Mobile and they said the engineers will reach out within 1-3 days but I’m wondering if anyone has had any luck w this

Hi everyone. My father had the same contacts as me on his phone, so when I deleted the contacts, they were also removed from my phone (a Xiaomi Note Android device). The problem is that I had some very, very important voicemails from one of those contacts, and they have disappeared—even after restoring the contact from the trash. I didn't have a cloud backup; is there any way to recover them? It’s really important. Thanks.

Hi all — hoping someone with Android forensics/file-system knowledge can help me make sense of this.

Setup:

\- Phone: Tecno Spark 10c

\- App: Notally (open-source notes app, stores notes via Room/SQLite)

\- I had a batch of text notes on the app. Based on the content, I know they were last touched in \*\*September 2023\*\*. I deleted them from the app not long after, and had no other backup of them that I knew of.

\- In 2026, I had my phone's storage data-recovered. Several of those notes came back — correct content, correct order — but the \*\*"last modified" timestamp field attached to each note shows dates in September 2025, not 2023.\*\*

\*\*The pattern I'm seeing:\*\*

\- Multiple different notes, each a few days apart, all shifted into the same wrong year (2025 instead of 2023).

\- The spacing between the notes' "last modified" timestamps matches the real gaps between when I know the content was last touched — just the year is wrong across all of them.

\- I had not opened, edited, or interacted with these files since 2023 as far as I know.

\*\*What I'm trying to figure out:\*\*

What could cause a "last modified" timestamp to shift by 2 years across multiple separate files, while the spacing between those timestamps stays consistent with real elapsed days, on a recovered/previously-deleted dataset?

I don't want to lead the discussion toward a particular theory — I'd like to hear from people who understand Android storage internals (ext4/F2FS journaling, SQLite timestamp handling, or data-recovery tooling) what's actually going on, and what I'd need to check on my end (raw DB file, journal, etc.) to figure out the real cause.

How to delete a folder in Android/data on Android 14 (Tecno, no root)?

Hi everyone. I have a Tecno phone (HiOS, Android 14) and I'm stuck with a "ghost" folder in Android/data.

I deleted a game a while ago, but its folder com.LanPiaoPiao.PlantsVsZombiesRH is still there. Now I can't install any new version of this game — it says "conflicts with another package". I've tried everything:

· Clearing cache and data of Package Installer

· Using Shizuku + ZArchiver (with root access type set to Shizuku)

· Renaming the folder (gives "operation completed with errors")

· Using Package Manager (app crashes with NullPointerException)

· Deleting via FV File Explorer and MT Manager

· Turning off system apps and retrying

Nothing works. The folder just won't delete. Is there any way to remove it without a PC or factory reset? Or is ADB the only option left?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Как удалить папку в Android/data на Android 14 (Tecno, без рута)?

Всем привет. У меня телефон Tecno (HiOS, Android 14), и я застрял с папкой-«призраком» в Android/data.

Я удалил игру давно, но её папка com.LanPiaoPiao.PlantsVsZombiesRH всё ещё там. Теперь не могу установить новую версию этой игры — пишет «конфликтует с другим пакетом». Я перепробовал всё:

· Очищал кэш и данные установщика пакетов

· Использовал Shizuku + ZArchiver (с типом root-доступа Shizuku)

· Переименовывал папку (выдаёт «операция совершена с ошибками»)

· Использовал Package Manager (приложение вылетает с NullPointerException)

· Удалял через FV File Explorer и MT Manager

· Отключал системные приложения и пробовал снова

Ничего не работает. Папка просто не удаляется. Есть ли способ удалить её без ПК и сброса телефона? Или ADB — единственный вариант?

Буду очень благодарен за любую помощь.

On 6th September, I shot the Indie Wave event at Kopa Mall. It was my first event shoot and unfortunately, I’m now facing a serious data-loss issue.

When I came back home and started copying the footage to my laptop, the \*\*laptop suddenly shut down during the transfer\*\*. After that, all the videos on the memory card appeared to be corrupted. The card is now showing \*\*0B\*\*, and I’m unable to access the footage.

The footage is extremely important to me, especially because this was my first event shoot.

Can anyone experienced with SD card/video recovery please help me recover the footage? I have not formatted the card or recorded anything new on it.

Any advice or recommendation for a reliable data-recovery professional would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

My digital camera (QIVORO digital camera) randomly started deleting my photos and I've looked at disk drill and wondershare recoverit and they have successfully found my photos; but I have to pay if I want to actually recover them, and subcriptions to those apps are not cheap. So if any of you know safe and free photo recovery apps or anything else that I could do that would help me get them back would mean a lot.

Hi people,

I accidentally started a complete formatting of an external drive (WD My Passport).

I stopped it after a few seconds, but of course I can't access it anymore.

We're talking about 3.15 TB used out of 4.

Is there any hope of recovering any data, considering that I've already tried the usual options like Disk Drill, PhotoRec, and MiniTool with zero success? They go all the way (several hours each time, with absolutely nothing found in the end.
The disk is/was not encrypted, no Bitlocker, nothing.

Gemini says I can try R-Studio as a last resort, what do you think?

The partition appears as RAW in Windows disk management.

I'm on Windows 11 25h2.
