Can I retrieve files after factory reset? (4)

1 Name: Sadochien : 2016-12-09 10:10 ID:0CzkRvmt [Del]

Hello guys! Last night I put a pin lock on my phone and it did not open even if it's the correct pin so I had to reset it. I have lost many files and I forgot to back it up. Can I still retrieve my files?

Greetings Sadochien,
From your post, it sounds likely that your files were deleted, however due to the way deletion works on a computing system, it should still be possible to recover some of the files. The amount you can recover depends on how corrupted they have become. In any case, to recover your files, you want to make use of an 'undelete' or 'data recovery' tool. If your phone is an android, an example of one such tool would be 'http://www.easeus.com/android-data-recovery-software/free-android-data-recovery.html', however there should be several similar tools for both android and iphone. To prevent this from recurring, as you mentioned yourself, I would recommend making regular backups from now on.

T.T I understand your pain.

Last week, while manipulating a backup folder I entered rm -rf /home instead of rm -rf home...
Ive lost evertything.
