Can You Recover Pictures From A Memory Stick Camera On The Computer After You Upload The Photos?
Posted by benny in technews on April 29th, 2009 | 2 responses
So here’s the deal. I have a camera with a memory stick and deleted some pictures. After I deleted the pictures, I uploaded the pictures that I left on the camera into the computer. Can I recover the deleted pictures on the computer, or would I have to have my camera plugged in and find the deleted pictures on that? By the way after I put the pictures on the computer I filled up the memory stick with other pictures. Can you even recover deleted pictures with memory sticks? I know you can with SD cards but what about memory sticks? Thanks!

The tricky thing about memory sticks, and flash memory in general, is that it does not work like a hard drive. What I mean is, when you empty the recycle bin on your hard drive, it doesn’t actually delete anything, it only flags the sectors as “free space” and will overwrite it when necessary In other words, it does not physically write zero’s to the sectors. As a result, one can use a file recovery software and get it back, unless you completely fill your hard drive. Now with flash memory, it takes a “picture” of your data, so it takes literally milliseconds for Windows to flash zero’s to sectors. I’m not entirely sure however whether it flags the data or flashes zero’s. So I recommend you try a file recovery program for your memory stick. The best I have found is called R-Studio http://www.data-recovery-software.net/
It’s not free (there are ways of obtaining it however ) but the demo should allow you to see if your photos / videos are still in there
It should be able to check your memory stick for lost data. It will organize it by file type like 0.jpg 1.jpg 2.jpg etc… since meta data like the file name is lost when it gets flagged
you can use advanced photo recovery to recover deleted files you can download it for free at the following site
