I accidentally deleted crucial videos from my iPhone DCIM folder on my desktop

Question

I copied the files onto my desktop and then accidentally clicked 'delete' on my keyboard. It deleted the selected videos. I then did ctrl+z which deleted the copied files that I placed on my desktop. Now I have no access to any of the files. Is there any way I can recover the files I deleted?

EDIT: I cannot use the programs/solutions stated in the possible duplicate question because it does not detect my iPhone as a drive.

Answer 1

You'd better stop using the your iphone, this will prevent new files to be written to the device and hence increase chance of DCIM folder data recovery.

Some suggestion for you:

If you deleting videos from iPhone Using a Mac

This works in all versions of Mac OS X:

• Connect the iPhone to the computer via USB;
• Launch videos from the /Applications/ folder;
• Hit Command+A to Select All videos, then with all images selected click the red () button to delete all videos.
• Confirm deletion when asked and be prepared to wait.

If you delete All Photos from iPhone Using Windows PC

This should work in all versions of Windows:

• Connect the iPhone to the computer via USB;

• Open ‘My Computer’ and choose “Apple iPhone”;

• Open to folders “Internal Storage” and then open “DCIM”, contained within will be a folder containing all videos on the iPhone;

• From the folder containing the videos, select all, then delete Removing videos from the iPhone.

Select a recovery suite.

The software mentioned is EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and Recuva for Windows, which are both free options.
