Deleted pictures from iPhone 4

August 1st, 2016

So, i deleted camera roll pictures from my iPhone 4. I had them there for about 2 years (1000+ of them). It was a big mistake and there was really important to me ;( I just clicked delete ( from pc, and i thought they will go to recycle bin, but they didn’t). How can i recover them? I don’t have backup on itunes or icloud :/
Answer #1
Have you ever used iTunes in past 2 years? If yes then you should have pictures in backup.
Answer #2
^ what he said…..
Alhough the pictures cant have been that important if you deleted them from your iPhone AND pc
Maybe you could do a System Restore (of the PC), to the day before you deleted the images from the computer. I know Windows doesnt touch your files when it restores but somehow they might turn up, its worth a try.
Good luck!!

Have you ever used iTunes in past 2 years? If yes then you should have pictures in backup.Yes, im experienced with itunes, although i didnt save backups to keep storage (hdd storage sux) . Then that happened i deleted the pics by going into “Administrator’s iPhone” which the pc see it like digital camera. Deleted them from there (always thinking that they will go to recycle bin) since i wasn’t planing delete them permanently.
Answer #4
I believe that there is no chance to return your images… Sorry..

Why are you trying to restore them from your phone?
If you deleted them from your PC, they are recoverable; ONLY if you stop everything your doing right away and begin recovery.

Deleting a file does not actually remove any data, just reports that this is now free space. So as long as you have not copied new data over this space on your hard drive, they will be fully recoverable.

The thing is, did i deleted them from my computer or from my Digital Camera ( this is the way computer recognizes iPhone when plugged in ) since i clicked delete from digital camera. But still i don’t get it why the pics are not on recycle bin since i didn’t shift+delete them, only delete.
Answer #10
You said you had 1000+ of them. Sometimes if the file is large it just deletes the whole file. Otherwise you know it asks if you would like to send them to the recycle bin.
Sounds like in your case it didn’t give you that option. I have deleted things and if its 100s of Mbs or Gbs it just deletes them permanently without recycle bin. Good luck Mate!!
Answer #11
When you delete stuff off an external device (through Windows Explorer) it permanently deletes them, its just the way it is, it never gives you the option to delete to Recycle Bin. As the photo’s werent on your computer, it would be kinda stupid to ‘send’ them to Recycle Bin when they’re on an external device, which means your sending them to your computer (which takes up hard drive space) and store them in the recycle bin.
If you took the images on your iDevice then you cant get them back, but if you took them on someone elses camera/device and sent the images to your computer THEN synced the images to your device then they should still be in iTunes somewhere.
Now you know you should always backup your iDevice!
