When it comes to data recovery software, it's easy to be dismissed as ineffective because it doesn't recover all the photos. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of data recovery software.

The storage of a file on the disk is divided into two parts. One part contains the file name, creation time, storage path and other information in a database (file allocation table). The other part is the content of the file, which is stored in the sector of the disk. It can be stored continuously or discontinuously.

Move the file/picture to the recycle bin, the system will mark the file as available for deletion in the file allocation table. When the disk or recycle bin space is insufficient, use the key combination shift+delete to delete the file, or empty the Recycle Bin, and the system will mark the file as deleted. This portion of the disk space that stores this file is then marked as available and can be used to store new files. If a new file is stored, the source file is overwritten. Once the source file is overwritten, the file cannot be recovered. This is also why data software is able to recover most of the photos but not all of them.
