This application works only when the file is available in the trash of rhel when we delete files from trash, we can not recover files, I don’t know what is the use of this application if it recovers files from trash only, that we can do manually too.

It worked just fine! thank you very much, James. You used testdisk version 7.1.

Hi, I managed to accidentally delete 4 months of my drawings and then empty the trash. I followed the steps and used testdisk to copy the deleted folder to another destination, but none of the files which had been inside been listed, either in the original location or the location where the folder was restored to. The folder is empty.

Anything I’m missing?

I have a micro 16gb sd drive. Testdisk displays >Disk /dev/sda 524 / 512 kib (RO) – Multi Flash Reader.

Why does it not show as 16gb drive? The drive was formatted in Fat32 and has a raspbian OS installed. Gparted shows the drive as 512kib and filesystem and partition as unallocated. Can any files still be recovered somehow?
