When a file is deleted from your computer it is not really deleted. it still exists and it's possible to recover even if you empty the trash. In this video I demonstrate deleting files and recovering them using Testdisk (Photorec) in Ubuntu. - This will work as long as the space where those files are was not overwritten - Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.

  1. Thanks worked great. Now to deal with the bullcrap of me not owning my own files. Is there a quick way around that in linux mint?
  2. Nice, this indicates clearly that if you move to trash and then empty trash - you can still recover the files.
  3. what is the file I am trying to recover is not a picture. Do I still type "Sudo photo" or what should I type into terminal to do this. I am trying to recover an edit on a video, not yet exported. Thanks buddy!
  4. This works well but beware that it does not recover all file names. Thanks for the tutorial.
  5. Good video! I use a guest account and the files are deleted. Thank you!
