Recover Lost Videos from a Computer

The most common cause of video loss on a PC is accidental supresión o formato. For both Windows and macOS, start with the simplest checks:

Check the recycle bin / trash

Open the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (macOS)
Search by filename or sort by date deleted
Right-click → Restore

If the video is not there, don’t panic — deleted files usually remain recoverable until overwritten.

Restore from File History / Time Machine

If you had backups set up:

Ventanas: Start → Settings → Update & Security → Backup → Restore files
macOS: Launch Time Machine → navigate to the video location → Restaurar

If you do not use a backup tool, move to professional video recovery methods (more below).

Recover Lost Videos from SD Card / MicroSD (Camera / Drone / GoPro)

SD card video loss is extremely common for cameras, drones, DSLRs, and GoPros — often due to:

Formato
Card error
Corrupción del sistema de archivos
Sudden power off while recording

Before recovery:

Stop using the SD card immediately
Do not take new pictures or videos
Do not format repeatedly

To recover videos:

1. Connect the SD card to a PC using a card reader

2. Run a deep scan using a video recovery program

3. Preview the results and save recovered videos to a different storage location (not the same SD card)

Recover Lost Videos from External Drives / USB Flash Drives

External storage devices sometimes cannot be accessed correctly because of:

Corrupción del sistema de archivos
Sectores defectuosos
Improper removal
Virus or malware

Try the following steps:

1. Use CHKDSK (Windows):

chkdsk X: /f (replace X with drive letter)

This can repair the file system and make files visible again.

2. If videos remain missing, perform a deep recovery scan using data recovery software.

3. Save recovered files to another drive to avoid overwriting.

Note: This method may make the drive accessible again, but it makes changes to the drive and may cause data loss.

Recover Videos After Formatting

Formatting does not immediately erase video data. As long as new data has not overwritten the old sectors, video files remain recoverable. For formatted storage media (PC hard drive, SSD, USB drive, SD card), deep scanning with a specialized tool like Magic Data Recovery is currently the only reliable way to bring videos back.
