DiskDigger

DiskDigger is aimed at people who have lost pictures, clips or documents through an accidental deletion or a reformatted card and want a chance to get them back. It examines the storage areas it can reach and lists the items it detects, after which you can copy them to another folder on the phone or send them to a cloud service or by email. Both built-in memory and removable cards are supported.

What matters most is how thoroughly it looks. On a standard handset the scan is restricted to visible data, thumbnail caches and similar records, so some deleted content may stay out of reach. With superuser rights the tool digs through the whole memory in search of traces left by removed objects. There is also an option to overwrite free space so that erased files cannot resurface later, plus a cleanup step for discarding unwanted results after a scan.

To operate, the utility needs permission to access all files, since otherwise it cannot inspect the entire drive. No connection or sign-in is required — the network is only used when you choose to upload recovered items to cloud storage. It suits users of any age, and the package is available in AppLoko.
