How to rescue deleted photos?

This is a massage from my friend: After Christmas and New Year Day I took a lot of photos. I uploaded photos from my camera and so as usual, I moved my new photos in already existing folder and then I went to delete the old one (empty folder) and now I've lost all of my photos, I have no idea how! I've tried system restore, but nothing is making them come back, please help me rescue my deleted photos.

Here's my reply: Don't worry if you just simply deleted photos and didn't do anything else, because in this case you have a great chance to rescue these deleted photos. Because the photos are not really gone, they just not listed there anymore which means if you put more pictures, they would overwrite the space. So if you want to rescue your deleted photos, first you need to stop using the computer disk or camera memory card.

Then follow the guide below, you will know how to rescue deleted photos with a photo recovery software.

First, download and install the free version of Wondershare Photo Recovery. Install it someplace other than the disk or SD card that you want to rescue deleted photos.

Second, start Wondershare Photo Recovery, select the disk you want to rescue in left list and click "Next" to start the automatic scanning process.

Third, choose the ones you want to recover from the list of all recoverable photos and click "Next".

Fourth, select a folder to store the recovered photos. Click "Next" and the photos would be rescued successfully.

Tips: Don't save the recovered photos to the same folder that you rescue deleted photos.
