How to recover accidentally deleted audio files


Recommended Posts

Hello, I accidentally deleted half of my audio storage with Poweramp because i thought that i was just deleting a playlist.

This situation annoy me and I want to recover those audios, for free.

Could someone explain to me how to do that ? 

It would really brighten my day...

 

The deleted files are on my Samsung M31

If you have a backup then you can restore from that, or you could copy back from your original master copies on a computer perhaps? But otherwise, unless your device has a Recycle bin for files deleted from apps, then unfortunately overriding the warning prompt and opting to Delete Files rather than just the deleting the playlist entries is not reversible.

If the files were on an SD Card, you might be able to use a disaster recovery program on a computer to find and restore the deleted content, but try to avoid writing anything new to the SD Card in the meantime.


@maxmp Perhaps the wording in the warning prompt could be changed slightly to reduce the chances of this happening inadvertently? Suggest a tickbox to confirm file deletions:

Remove Entries?

Selected entries will be removed from the Playlist/Queue. Song files will not be deleted from storage unless you confirm below.
         Also Permanently                         [ Remove ]
                     Delete Song Files                          [ Cancel ]

When the user ticks the box, the 'Remove' button wording could change to 'Delete'.

Your first attempt always is Recycle Bin to recover accidentally deleted audio files. You should also try to File history. If your audios are stored on any external data storage media like- pen drive, sd card etc. then check that is connected proper on PC or not. Also give a chance BLR data recovery tool, that one helps to get back permanently deleted files as well.

Sorry to hear of your deleted audio files issue. I know how very important audio files are. You can try maybe a program called: Dr.Fone Photo & Data Recovery. And see if the program might be able to help you. Let us know.
