Most modern-day computers, tablets, and smartphones have a built-in feature for screen recording to help you capture a video of what is happening on your screen. This feature is essential when you want to record a video on your devices for software review, problem demonstration, or video tutorials. But if you remove them mistakenly, do you know how to recover deleted screen recording videos on Android devices?
Maybe you are facing this problem, and want a reliable solution. So, you can get help from this article. We have brought together several ways to recover deleted screen recording video files without much hassle.
Whenever you erase recorded video clips, you don't erase the video contents saved in the physical space but alter the deleted video's index, making it impossible to access. Before new files overwrite the original files' storage space, the erased screen recordings will be held on your disk temporarily.
Data recovery apps can scan the device in detail, build the lost or deleted files' index, and then locate the wanted videos. Getting back your erased or lost screen recordings is not an issue anymore when you have a video backup or system backup. You can restore videos from the backups directly.
Recovering screen recordings is not that easy, like picking coins from your floor. Some mistakes may significantly reduce your chances of recovering your lost video successfully. It is highly recommended that you do the following so that the probability of your data recovery can increase:
1. Stop using your storage device or computer where the screen recordings were stored immediately. If new data is stored in that device, it may overwrite the data you intend to restore, leading to permanent loss of data or corrupted videos.
2. Use reliable and read-only tools to open the disk. You should be wary of any recovery tools, backup tools, or repairing tools that appear unreliable. Sometimes, these tools cause more harm to your videos and drive if used for recovering lost or deleted files, leading to further drive corruption and decreasing your file recovery chances.
3. Set aside another device for saving your recovered screen recordings. To prevent loss of data on your device in the future, it is recommended that you attach another drive with enough space to your PC to save recovered screen recordings.
