Part 1 The Common Situations That You May Lose Videos from SD Card

Nowadays, many devices allow users to expand storage space by embedding an expandable memory card slot inside the device and the expanded SD card storage indeed makes it a better experience for us. For example, when I have too many photos, videos, or apps, I can store or install them to an SD card to make the device run smoothly and stably. However, sometimes we may encounter SD card data loss and you may want to know why your videos get lost from SD card.

There are a lot of reasons why you cannot find videos on an SD card and the common situations are as follows:

• Accidental deletion of a video file from SD card

Part 2 Why Is It Possible to Recover Deleted Videos from SD Card?

Can you recover deleted videos from SD card after you suffer SD card video loss? Probably. If you accidentally deleted a video from your Android smartphone's or tablet's SD card, you can recover it from the "Recently deleted" folder of the Gallery app, which keeps the deleted photos or videos for up to 30 days. Or, if you cannot find the deleted videos in it and you did not overwrite any new data to your device after video loss, you can still recover deleted videos from SD card via a professional SD card video recovery app.

That is because when you delete a video from the SD card, the deleted video is temporarily marked as replaceable or invisible in system, once new data generates in the device, the deleted video will soon be overwritten by new data and permanently deleted from your device. If you want to recover video files from SD card, you need to switch off mobile data/Wi-Fi and power off your device immediately after the video gets lost from SD card. Then you can use the recommended SD card video recovery app below to restore deleted videos from SD card.
