How to recover deleted files with Photorec - Ubuntu
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- This is how to recover files (undelete) from your computer. I use a cool free program called photorec to recover the data. You can recover movies, photos, mps, text, just about anything. Photorec has versions for window, linux, and mac so it should be similar to how I show you in Ubuntu.

Old video but still a great tutorial. Accidentally deleted my entire Photos folder... and my wife would have been pissed about all our family pics being gone. It's estimating a 24 hour run time but I've already recovered a considerable amount of pictures.
Thanks for making the video 4+ minutes only. Direct and to the point! Not adding 25 minutes of babbling like some do. I like that. Thumbs up!
Man, its 2024 and what I wold give for content like this again. 25 minutes of babbling plus 30 minutes of ads.
Best recovery application i have reached in my 23 yrs of carrer
thank you i almost died when i accidentally removed all songs from my ipod thank you for the great tips
Thank you sir - just accidentally (with the help of my kids distracting me) deleted 2 hrs of php work....Got Photorec installed and it's at work now. Thanks for the help.,
You should edit the title of your clip to include "testdisk" in it.
Good thing I found your clip. I've wasted 72+hrs using testdisk, I was waiting for some options to show-up maybe after its scan. The extern-HDD was already hook-up to one of my linux machines here. It's an ntfs which thunar tried/failed to re-write permissions. It's always those vdi vbox disk that caused my problem in the past and would do a complete format to reuse my HDD. After the next 130hrs, I'll be able to do whatever;)
Did not work for me. The corrupt file was not recovered at all
Thanks for this video! Just recoverd a SD card in just some minutes!
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. Also subscribed to your channel.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much... Had been trying for a long time to reecover it .... and at last this video helped me....
Thank you dude. It just work!
that program works like a charm! thanks!
this may or may not be of relevance to folks. I thought I had deleted a file, when in fact I simply renamed it with a "." (a period) at the beginning of the file name and this caused it to become a hidden file (unbeknowst to me, because I am so newbie). I literally was sobbing and researching for two hours until I came upon this realization that recovery was not needed, it was simply a necessity of Ctrl-H in the file structure... (Linux - Operating System)
If you use the terminal it's also possible to show all hidden files by using the command 'ls' with the '-a' flag, i.e "ls -a".
Thanks for that tip Chris!
+saeraadelyn No problem :) The terminal is such a fantastic tool and can be used to do so many great things they a standard file browser would never be able to do! :)
oh i am recovering pictures from a micro sd .. the pictures where never deleted or overwritten . they just can not be viewed . like 800 pics. i took them to a drugstore and the had lightening bolts through the pictures. . the files are there though
YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!!!!! .. =D
this is great but I want the directories and the files recovered together
thanks nick ya video is still a big help
thanks for this. I have a question, my case is that I formatted accidentally my disk's partition that contains my backup files estimating 300+gb. Im currently recovering it through photorec. how long will it take? should i stop it or it will automatically stop?
i am getting error read in my terminal when i use photorec and i dont know which is my partition
hi,i download ubantu and that time i don't what happen my computer looks clean nothing is their...i recover some data after seen your video but i unable to open the file nothing is showing in the pc not able to work on my computer. pls suggest me as possible
did all the steps, placed file on desk top. but its empty . does this mean i lost my pictures. formated my sd card by accident on camera few days. ago
lost me at "run it as root". Perhaps you should "claw it as ceiling". Makes about as much sense.
hey, I don't know what is a partition and which partition should I choose.
how merge all files...not able detect similar files placed in one folder
Hey, so I ran photorec and recovered what I needed and deleted the rest. But now my comp is running ridiculously slow... Any ideas how to fix this?
sir, i want to recover my blackberry data(pictures) but when i start te programm it doesnt say clearly wich one the blackberry drive is?
Hey, thank you for the tutorial,
but I got stuck opening terminal, it says "No harddisk found
you need to be root to use photorec" what does that mean and how can I solve this problem? thanks!
In one of my computers I installed ubuntu 14.04. Actually , I tried to dual-boot in along with windows 7 and I tried to do the partition during the ubuntu installation procedure.
Now all of my 500 GB hard disk has been occupied by ubuntu and I cannot access windows. Since, I have all my documents in windows and I want to recover it. Will I be able to recovery my files of windows ? If yes, can you please help me with the solution ?
This is the whole thing I am going through that turns people away from Ubuntu. They have 80 different ways of installing software and not one of them works. WTF!!! CLI wont download it, photorec doesn’t work but I can go to there site and download it and click on the stupid static file and testdisk opens and yet nothing for photorec. Getting tired of Ubuntu really quick.. WTF!
thanks for ur video! I have a 1tb HD, actually installing ubuntu, let say i didnt clic on the right partition and ive deleted the wrong one. I haven't event touch the HHD, created a new only partition on it,and im now looking for a recovery software like(easyrecovery, r-studio, etc) but with a tree UI where i can actually recover my 100+ gbs out of a 1tb HD. How u may see, it should be painful with this program. What software do u recommend me? PD:I have ub12.04 installed already on other SSD.
where did i go wrong ? i can not open up eCryptfs files. so do i need an add on . i am using mozilla firefox on windows 8.1
5 to 10 min??? Yeah right. Mine has been hunting for several hours now. and it's about 1/6th done on a 320g Macpro? WTF
So I got the important files I needed thank you, but now I cant delete the folders, why?
u probably dont have permissions to do that. try with su (u could also chmod them to gain permissions, read about it... thats the best way to go around it).
Hi there, I was running a dual boot windows 10 pro pirated version and Ubuntu. I wanted to replace Ubuntu With Linux mint. While doing that I erased everything on my laptop and what left behind is newly installed Linux mint nothing else. Now only Linux mint is there. Everything is gone. There is /Dev/sda1 ext4 927.59 GB, /Dev/sda2 extended 3.92 GB, /Dev/sda5 Linux-swap 3.92 GB. I have to scan the whole disk and recover the data how can I do this? Please help me out, in getting my data back.
it saved my day... thanks a lot...
Actually it recovered some file that I don't even have before, I don't know why
Hey, photorec recovered pictures as text files. Is that mean that those are corrupted? Is there any way to open up those text files as pics? Using Windows or Mac.
i run it for a couple of hours but it said it needed at least 300+h(on an external driver of 320 GB) ,i saw on ur video there was as an estimated time for achieving 13h but u said it lasted for 1-2 mins?
does it differ from ubuntu to windows?
I am also facing the same problem of un-allocated memory from hard disk, i was trying to load raspian-os on SD card with the help of WIN32disk Imager, and mistaken given path to my hard disk instead of SD card, now i am able to see some boot file's on hard disk, rest all memory become un-allocated, plz guild me, how can recover my data from that hard drive...data was very important to me. Is there any tool or workaround for recovering data from that un-allocated part of disk/drive
So, now I have all the files and have backed them up, I can't delete them. How do delete them?
+Jennifer Sullivan click the folder and open as a root and delete the files. Before run command su root in terminal with your root password
You sir are AWESOME!!!
Amazing brother, thank you.
Hi. I recovered a movie but I can't see it because of its format. Quicktime don't let me see it.

hey , accidentally deleted whole hard drive because of installing ubuntu.

It's awesome.....But how to get the original names of recover files.
@NickMcDTV I'm on a mac, and when trying to recover, i get a "Error Reading Sector 196" how do I avoid this?
i am unable to install picasa bcz of I386 error just can't install anything in fact my Ubuntu software cntr is not wrkin too
Thanks very much for your information!, but, it just recovered 19 MB of text files and i was looking for a .avi of 347MB.
Saludos!
would it work for formatted external hard drive???
I guess this doesn't work for Mint 10??
Hi Nick,
my ext hdd was asking me to format when i plugged in but i had heaps of data in it almost 1TB. i used photorec as im using win 7. it created around 364 files. how to join them so that i can see my other stuff?? can you please suggest me any other things??
thanks in advance.
Why we get recoved data in any random name why we not get realy name file name of that file
Thanks from DRC BOSS.
thank you very much, i helped me a lot.
ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ ΑΠΟ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ its very good program
thank you dude... really O:)
You may have saved my marriage
then maybe it is better to start the program from life CD in order not to overwrite anything. 1:58 not entire DISK but entire PARTITION. Don't you know the difference?
Yeah running from a live disk and having it load all of the files into temporary RAM is your best bet, that way you're not touching the HDD
thanks
Yhea man fantastic really really amazing...thank's for all ;)
