Hi, I accidentally deleted some videos from my Zenfone 8, Android 12 - is there anyway to retrieve them?
I use SimpleMobileTools gallery app and accidentally deleted a folder of videos. I did not have the "Move items into the recycle bin instead of deleting" checked, so they were deleted. I don't use Google Drive backup or the Google Photos app so there is no cloud backup.
I've read that modern mobiles use either full drive encryption or individual file encryption which makes recovery usually impossible as encryption keys will have been deleted as well as the videos, and that Android data recovery apps are just scams.
Anyone have any experience or suggestions about recovering the videos that were taken with the default Asus camera?

hi,
is there any chance to see the specific usage of the storage in the system.
I copied a folder onto my phone with 11gb but deleted it again and there where already broken links in pictures music and videos.
Now i have 2.39 GB of "other" storage and i dont know where this is coming from.
Apps is 611MB music 89 and videos 90.. system 1.91gb
is this 2.39 something apps and browser put there or should they count into apps. and where do my 2 nokia maps downloads count in?
in the explorer i only can see pictures and video that is right.
music is only my music pass files without downloads

The word is this is flexible storage that Windows Phone uses. This is larger than it needs because your not using the space. it will compress if you need the space..
I cannot seem to find the Zoe presentation highlight in my internal storage. The Zoe app is only allowing me to share within the app. I want to upload it to Dropbox or Google Drive or Mega. I have done this in the past, but it must have updated, and I am stumped.
Question for all the vets here.....Im coming from an iPhone so Im obviously familiar with a different way of doing things.
Im trying to figure out how the file structure works within Android. Im mostly referring to media files and where/how they are stored and accessed. Im used to everything being stored inside my "camera roll" or whatever its called in a iphone. It would store all videos, photos, screen shots, downloaded images, everthing but music.
Now with Android it appears everything is kind of all over the place. Pictures are in Google Photos and are also accessible from the camera app. Screen shots and downloaded pictures are also stored in Google Photos yet aren't accessible from the camera app? Videos are all over the place. Vids I record are in Google Photos and accessible from the camera app. Videos I download are in the downloads folder.
Seems like everything is kind of spread out and a mess/not easily accessible. Am I doing something wrong?
Then that brings me to other files like documents. I've downloaded excel files from email and click save to drive and then they don't show up in my google drive. I access them in sheets. Then tried saving to device, no clue where those are saved to/accessible from.
Basically the whole file management system is a bit confusing to me. Hopefully someone can help clear things up for me. I know I can download a file management app and access everything from their respective folders which is fine. But Im more concerned with where everything is stored/accessed from an app standpoint.
Thanks for the help if you read that whole mess!!!

Gallery, root explorer, and most pictures always end up in Pictures or DCIM/Camera.
the iPhone file structure isn't that much better when you jailbreak, either. on my iPad it works the same way and downloads from the net go into a weird temp folder.
Anyways, you need to get an external app to view stuff really well. Google stuff doesn't ever really work well for me, I would get office suite.
I was running OOS 5.0.6, looking for a change I went to Nitrogen OS.
This involved decrypting the internal storage, so I did.
I took a backup of the DCIM folder (70ish GBs), all of it is backed up to Google photos at high quality.
I have installed Nitrogen OS and copied back the entire DCIM folder.
I would now like to merge it back to Google photos.
Launching Google photos and activating the backup feature makes it think that the pictures and videos are new and starts to upload them, with is the opposite of what I want. The filenames and folder location is exactly the same as before.
But the dates and timestamps of the files change so therefore Google Photo things they're new. With some luck, the AI algorithms at Google will detect them as exact copies and only store one of each. But as you already have your entire DCIM in the cloud, copying them back is a bit of overwork. But I suppose you still want to store the photos local in full quality, but in that case you should store them on a NAS or something secure instead of on your phone.

Thanks for the reply.
I travel a lot and a reason why I got the 128gB version was to store all the images and videos in original quality. Especially the 4k videos, storing on NAS is not an option as I travel a lot and would want to have the media in original quality on the go.
Hey there guys. I am a new user here, and I'm hardly an especially experienced user but am very keen to learn. Here is my problem:
I've been trying to access Google Play Music's folder using many root-based browsers but they all show the folder empty, however when I did a full system backup with Titanium Backup, it acknowledge 30 gig of music saved to my device. My question:
How can I access these files? I've tried the legit way with Google Music Manager, but it doesn't save everything, and the support is abysmal. Can I modify or use anything to get unrestricted access, even if I have to comb through and rename everything I don't mind! Any help is greatly appreciated!
You'll find all the files located in Android/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
Assuming you are talking about Downloaded music from Play Music.
THe files are named random numbers, so they'll all need renamed.
