S7EVE_MAC Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi all, Can anyone recommend a free method to restore a deleted file from my memory card? I accidentally deleted the file (2Gb) and I want to restore it, searching the web it's all about expensive software to do the job - is there no free method anyone is aware of? Thank-you in advance.

Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 There was a post up a couple of weeks ago with a solution for what you ask. The answer was posted by AdamR Just found it. http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/120195-go-pro-or-video-gurus/?hl=gopro#entry1263269 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7EVE_MAC Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks Geoff, in this instance the file has been deleted. I can't even see it. I cursed myself when I did it and took the memory card out straight away to prevent losing completely. Now I am stuck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Dancer Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I have a Mac computer and I used an App called CardRaider http://www.ecamm.com/mac/cardraider/ It costs $19.95. but you get a chance to use it for free before you buy it. I used it to recover a lot of photos I deleted and they were recovered without a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 As long as you haven't over-written the data (and if you've pulled the card out you won't have) there's a good chance of recovery with any decent "undelete" tool. there are lots to choose from and most free to try. As the go-pro uses standard Micro SD cards you should be fine. If however you've formatted the card (as the go-pro tends to do under "delete / format all) then you may strugle (as formatting has the same effect on the old data as over-writing does). Whether you pay for an undelete tool really depends on how much you want the video back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7EVE_MAC Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks All. I've found the file using a tool, now I just need to stop being tight and splash the cash to retrieve it. Thanks. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
