Why Are Your Mobile Phone Data Possible to Be Recovered?

When we perform deletion operation at files, like photos, messages or contacts, on cellphones, our devices did not really delete them. In stead, the deletion command only removed the pointers to the files from the allocation table. In other words, the files get delisted, but not destroyed. The OS marks the memory space that the lost files ever occupied blank and available for use. The “deleted files” are still on our phones until new data overwrite them.

If you just deleted text messages due to misoperation, you’d better shut down your cellphone in case new receiving messages occupy the space of the deleted files. Likewise, you shouldn't use your mobile phone for video recording, movies or games which will produce considerable new data. However, on the other hand, we can use data overwriting to erase private data. Once you delete your private data on your device, you can erase them permanently by overwriting them with big enough new data, like plenty of movies.

It is recommended to seek help from technicians or professional software as soon as possible after data loss. Gihosoft Android Recovery is a powerful recovery tool for Android devices.
