Recover SD Card Files From Various Data Loss Scenarios

If you've ever deleted a file by mistake, messed up your SD card, or had your computer crash, don't worry. AnyRecover software can help you get back your lost files fast and easily.

Reasons for SD Card Files Loss

Common Indicators of SD Card Data Loss

Formatted SD Card

Formatting can sometimes resolve certain problems with flash memory cards. However, if you accidentally format an SD card, you'll lose all your files, including photos, videos, and music files. This can be problematic, especially if the formatted files are important to you.

Accidental Data Deletion

You might unintentionally delete or format the photos and videos on the SD card. Don't worry – there's a solution. AnyRecover software can swiftly and effortlessly restore your accidentally deleted files.

Interruption During File Transfer

Unexpected disruptions while transferring photos or videos from your camera to a computer can result in inaccessible or damaged files on your memory card. Efficiently recover lost files and minimize the impact of such interruptions with AnyRecover memory card recovery tool.

Physical damaged SD Card

Because it's small, a memory card can easily get wet, burned, or physically harmed, which can mess up your data. AnyRecover can rescue data from slightly hurt cards, but really damaged ones might need the help of professional data recovery services to get the data back.

Remove SD Card Improperly

Like a USB drive, people often use an SD card in cameras or smartphones. But if you treat it badly or use it too much in different devices, it can break, and you might lose your data. You can use AnyRecover to scan the card and get your data back.

Electrical Damage

Power Outages

Power outages are beyond our control. When using an SD card on a PC, a sudden power outage can abruptly stop the process, leading to the loss of unsaved files and potential corruption of existing files.

RAW File System

When the file system of a memory card turns into RAW, the operating system no longer recognizes the card, making the data inaccessible. Luckily, Wondershare AnyRecover can securely scan and retrieve data from a RAW SD card, bringing back your precious files to their original condition.

Virus or Malware Infection

Viruses and malware pose significant risks to the pictures and other data stored on the card. When these harmful programs infect the drive, they can either delete or steal the files from the device. However, AnyRecover can get back your files from a memory card if they were deleted by malicious software.

SD Card Not Showing up on PC

When you insert the SD memory card into a device like a camera or a computer, the SD card does not show up, or it asks you to format the card before you can use it.

SD Card Errors

When attempting to access the memory card, you might encounter different error messages like "SD card error," "Card not initialized," or "Read/Write error."

Files Missing from SD Card

You might observe that certain files, photos, or other data are missing from your SD card, or you're unable to access them even though they should be here.

Damaged or Corrupted Photos/ Videos and Files

A few files on your SD card might look corrupted, broken, or impossible to read, so you can't open or see them.

If you come across any of these issues, it's advisable to use memory card recovery software like AnyRecover to get your lost data back and fix your files.

What Should You Do When You Lose Data from SD Card?

If you discover damaged or missing photos on your SD card, you might be tempted to attempt a DIY fix. However, the last thing you want is to worsen the SD card's condition or unintentionally delete more photos. Instead, the most effective approach to recover your photos and avoid future losses is to:

Turn Off Your Camera or Smartphone

Press and hold the power button on your camera or smartphone to turn it off. This action will help prevent any further damage to the card caused by ongoing activity.

Stop Using the SD Immediately

Stop using and remove the memory card from the device as soon as you suspect data loss; this prevents deleted files from being overwritten and becoming unrecoverable.

Use Professional Data Recovery Software

If the SD card is still functional, and the data loss is due to logical issues, use a reliable data recovery software like AnyRecover to attempt data recovery. However, if there is serious physical damage, please contact professional data recovery services.

Recover SD Files to a New Location

Avoid attempting to recover your data onto the same SD card where it was initially stored. Doing so may result in overwriting or corrupting files during the recovery process.

I have a dashcam in my Tesla car. Days ago, while returning home from work, a truck came out of nowhere and rammed into me. Both our cars were damaged, but thankfully, no one got hurt. I've met with the truck driver regarding fixing my car, but he says I'm at fault. I needed to check my dashcam recordings, but the video was missing. Thanks to AnyRecover for retrieving the lost video.
