Hi there. I was transferring pictures from my digital camera (Canon Power Shot SD400 Digital ELPH) to my PC and I left the room. When I returned, I assumed they were finished downloading and erased the pictures from my camera. Now, I find that the pictures are not in the location I specified. The pictures are gone! Is there anything I can do???? Please help.

Hopefully they were stored somewhere. To find them you can try the following.

If you remember any of the file names, do a search for a unique part of one of the names.

Or if you know the format of the pictures (example = JPG), do a search for *.jpg. There will be a bunch found, but hopefully you will find yours in the pack.

I agree with aegis1 and will add one little part. When searching for *.jpeg also ask the search to look for recently created files so you won't have a huge list. Once the search is done, simply categorize all the files by date created and you SHOULD be able to find your pictures.

THANK YOU! My pictures are safe and sound on my flash drive and server. I had no idea they could be retrieved after deletion but I'm very glad I asked.
God bless!
