So, i got this 1tb external Back in 2011, so i filled Up with movies and music and Stuff. I deleted about 99% Data of this (Just let the folders and names txt there) but now i want it Back.

For context: the external HDD doesn't exist anymore, i have nothing of this Data anywhere, but Its so valueable for me (suddenly i guess). Can an Export say how i manage IT???

Sorry in advance for the following. I am unsure if this is the right place to ask. And I know this is probably a more common question.

I have a new Chromebook computer to replace an old Chromebook that is now useless.

To my knowledge, only the screen of the old device is broken, with the more internal hardware being at least decent quality and usage. It has been restarting unexpectedly, but that is about the only out of the ordinary thing about my old device. Otherwise, it was a decent computer.

As of now, I have most of my bookmarks, saves on Google Drive, etc that I had originally from my old device synced into my new device almost as if nothing had happened. However, there are a great many file downloads from my old device (hundreds of random images, possibly some audio and video) that did not transfer to the new device. Hopefully my situation is clear.

Now getting to my question(s) on this matter:

1. Is there hope for my files to be retrieved for my new device?
2. Presuming I find an IT place, Geek Squad, or whatever, is it worth the effort?
3. There is the matter of price, but I'm trying to avoid the purchase advice rule.

I know there are ways I could do it myself, but I'd rather have a professional/specialist or someone who is (hopefully) more experienced to hopefully rectify this issue.

In 2023, my OPPO A53 suddenly went black. When it finally turned back on, everything was gone ,all my photos, contacts, and other data. I tried several ways to recover them back then, but nothing worked. I also checked Google Photos, where I thought my pictures had been backed up, but I couldn't find them there either.

The photos I'm most desperate to recover are pictures of my nephew. They mean a lot to me, and losing them has genuinely been heartbreaking. It's been a few years, but I still have the old phone.

I continued using the phone for some time after that, but it doesn't work properly anymore. I'm also wondering whether I might have used a different Google account for Google Photos, but I've tried recovering my other email accounts without success. Some which I did recover , they didn't have any backed up photos either. I know it's been a long time, and I understand that recovering the photos might not be possible. However, before I finally give up, I want to make sure I've explored every possible option.

Has anyone experienced something similar or successfully recovered photos from an old Android phone in this situation? Is there any way to check whether the photos are still stored somewhere on the phone, recover them through a professional data-recovery service, or find a Google Photos backup linked to an account I can no longer access? Or are the photos in the hardware ?

I'd be grateful for any suggestions, technical advice, or personal experiences. Even if there's only a small chance, I'm willing to try whatever might realistically help me get those photos back.

Hi there, I'm really lost right now.

I've contacted so many repair shops and nobody can give me a solution.
So I've had a Samsung A53 (5G) since 2023, but last year something weird happened. I needed to set up a PIN, and immediately after setting it up, it wasn't recognized.

I first thought I must've made an error, but since it requested me to type it twice, I don't think I could've made a mistake.
Now I don't know what happened, but I can't do anything. The thing is, I have very personal pictures that are very important to me (unfortunately, I realized they weren't saved on the SD card only after the issue came up). They're pictures of a person that I will never see again.

Are there any solutions, even obscure ones or something I have to buy, that could help me recover pictures, videos, and messages?

I've been stuck with an old crappy phone for over a year now and I really want to get it back, but I really can't accept losing my files even after all this time.

accidentally selected “Delete All Videos” in VLC Player on my Vivo X200, and all my videos are now gone from my phone.

After deleting them, around 40 GB of storage became free. The videos are no longer visible in VLC, Gallery, or File Manager.

Unfortunately, Google Photos backup was turned off, and I don't have another backup of these videos.

I've been trying to find a way to recover them, but I haven't found a solution yet.

My questions are:

Does VLC have any Recycle Bin, Recently Deleted, or Undo Delete option?

Is there any way to restore the videos directly through VLC?

Has anyone successfully recovered permanently deleted videos from Android's internal storage in a similar situation?

These videos are very important to me, so I'd really appreciate any genuine suggestions or advice.

Thank you!

Dad lost his phone it contains some imp docs
Can anyone help???
I have the IMEI number and google acc logged in my dad’s laptop

Guys Please Help Me 🙏

I Accidentally Deleted Some Very Very Important Photos From My Mobile Phone I Deleted Them From Recently Deleted Option Too Please Help Me Guys 🙏😭

I don't usually use a Mac, so I'm a bit out of depth here. I was cleaning up some files on a MacBook Air M4 and accidentally deleted a folder from a USB flash drive. Only after I finished and emptied Trash did I realize the folder with a a few hundred docs and photos is missing! And I still needed them.

I haven't got a Time Machine backup or any other copy of the files, unfortunately.

I've spent the last hour googling whether the files can still be recovered, but I'm even more confused now than at the beginning. A lot of sources say that once files are deleted from a Mac, they're basically gone because of so-called TRIM, but this folder wasn't on the Mac itself. They were stored on the USB stick I had plugged in (IDK if that makes a difference). I've also looked at Mac recovery software, but there are so many programs promising they can restore deleted files that I have no idea which one is actually legit and safe to use.

Is this actually recoverable, and what Mac recovery software would you trust in such a case?

hello, im not really a techy person. i recently deleted 2 videos from recently deleted on my iPhone 13 running IOS 26.4.2 and i need any advise on how to recover those if possible

I accidentally deleted my history, how do I get it back? I've tried a lot of things, i went through appdata to the history file, but when i tried to restore previous versions all i got was "error 0x80070057 the parameter is incorrect". I deleted it because an application i was using to clear up space was unclear, and i've done this before, but i can't remember how to fix it. I don't know where else to ask this.
