Occasionally, we may lose some important photos and videos owing to careless deletion or formatting the memory card by mistake.

Today I will show you a user-friendly and powerful free iCare Data Recovery to get back your lost photos and videos with no difficulty.
Why Wiped Files Can Be Found Back
Many people think that once the file is deleted and the recycle bin is emptied, it will disappear forever, and they also believe it will be the same result if the memory card is formatted.
However, the truth is quite another story. There is solution to retrieve the lost data. Don�t believe it? Well, let me explain it.
When the file is deleted or the memory card is formatted, the data is actually not deleted at once. In fact, it is just �hiding away�. There are two reasons why you can�t find it. One reason is that you have given an order by pressing the delete button to mark the FAT (File Allocation Table) �deleted�. As long as no new data is written in to take the seat of the �deleted� file, it will be found. The other reason is that the FAT is damaged, so your computer can�t find where the file is. Therefore, if we want to get back the lost file, just remove the mark �delete� or mend the FAT. And this is just what iCare data recovery do. Besides, the tool will do its work through read-only way, thus it will influence nothing to your memory card or PC.
Remember� in order to restore your data, be sure not to take more photos or videos once you find the camera does not work well. Fix the problem as soon as possible, the earlier you restore, the more likely you will get back the file.
