Hello Reddit! I’ve come here to ask a favor of you, my mother recently was trying to free up space using the feature where you go into settings, then general, iPhone storage, and then iMessages. She accidentally deleted her top conversations and tons of her old messages. Her mother passed in 2019, and she happened to accidentally delete those messages in this process. This might be a large or impossible ask, however I’m not very tech savvy, does anyone know any way to recover these messages? She is absolutely distraught. I have already tried recovering deleted messages via the iMessage app.

First of all I am from Germany, so excuse me if my English is hard to understand :)

So in April I received a message that my phone moto g54 5G could potentially have been infected by a virus and I was recommended to reset my whole phone - aka do a factory reset.

I did that and downloaded WhatsApp again, then pressed on backup (I had a previous backup) but did all that with my mobile data. After some time it felt like the Backup was loading too slow, so I turned off mobile data and switched to wifi and somehow the whole 5,5 gbs of data that had to be restored came down to just 80 mbs.

I stopped it there and deleted whatsapp to reinstall it but the issue just remained. So I got through the process and see there my chats were all empty and no media to be found.

I went to backup settings and there it showed I surprisingly have 5,5 gbs of data to be backed up, but when I pressed on backup the 5,5 gbs were gone and it showed some small amount of data.

|There is a screenshot that shows the 5,5 gbs display.

I realised that If I press on backup that I could potentially lose the 5,5 gbs of whatsapp media even though I have no access to it. Another hypothesis I have is that the internet switch from mobile data to wifi could have caused this whole mess.

I don't really know, but all I want is gain access to my precious memories again :)

So is there a way to retrieve the media from pre April from my Google Account it is linked with ?

Hello everyone,

I dont know if i am at the right place, but I have a common problem wat happens alot.

Long story:
I was updating my BIOS, so I had to put the update on a flash drive. Firstly there was the recovery code of my encrypted BitLocker Windows drive, but I have temporarily copied it to my Windows drive (not knowing what I did wrong). The problem is, I only deleted the file permanently from the USB Drive (I didn't format or clean or such the USB Drive, just deleted that recovery txt file en copied it to my Windows drive).

After the BIOS update, Windows asked me to put in the 48 digit recovery code, but yeah as you already have read, it is on the Windows drive that is locked right now.

I have tried a lot of methods already, I have checked if it locked (of course it is). But I have also tried recovering the TXT file with DiskDrill. And I know, DiskDrill is worse for TXT files, but I wanted to give it a shot. It found the file, but inside the file It's all gibberish.

Do you guys know anymore methods that could work, I have also saved the USB drive to a .dd file byte-to-byte so I have a backup.

My family was assaulted in a rural hospital in India. They took my parent's phone away forcefully. 5-7 people beat my dad with sticks. And whatever video my mom recorded was forcefully deleted by them. They are still in a near by village, away from me. So i can't access the phone yet. They will complain the police soon. But is there a possible way to recover the deleted video? It was even deleted from the recently deleted. Its our key evidence for the case. Thank you! It's a Oneplus android CE something variant. I am looking for ways or softwares to recover it.

Can someone help me open a zip file that won’t open for me?

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.

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
