5 décembre 2025 Vasilii

Accidentally deleting important pictures can be stressful, especially after you vider la corbeille or realize that a camera card has already been formatted. Fortunately, you may still be able to recover permanently deleted photos, depending on where the images were stored and what happened after deletion.

The safest approach is to start with built-in recovery options and backups. If those methods fail and the photos were stored on a Windows PC, HDD, USB drive, or memory card, a data recovery tool such as Magic Data Recovery can scan the storage device for recoverable image data.

Ce guide explique comment récupérer des photos définitivement supprimées using seven practical methods. It also covers SSD TRIM, Google Photos, iPhone recovery limits, and the steps you should take immediately after photo loss.

Can You Recover Permanently Deleted Photos?

Oui, c'est parfois possible recover permanently deleted photos, but no method can guarantee recovery in every situation.

When you delete a file from many traditional storage devices, such as an HDD or SD card, the operating system usually removes the file system reference and marks its storage space as available. The underlying data may remain until new information overwrites that space.

However, several factors affect the result:

Si de nouvelles données ont écrasé les photos supprimées
Whether the photos were stored on an HDD, SSD, SD card, or USB drive
Whether SSD TRIM has already cleared deleted blocks
Qu'il s'agisse de l'historique des fichiers ou d'une autre sauvegarde
Whether the cloud service still keeps the deleted photos
Whether the storage device has logical or physical damage

Therefore, stop writing new data to the affected storage device as soon as possible.

Microsoft also recommends minimizing computer use after file deletion because Windows can reuse the space occupied by deleted files at any time.

Which Photo Recovery Method Should You Try First?

Photo loss situation	Best first option	What to know
Deleted normally on Windows	Corbeille	Usually the easiest recovery
Corbeille vidée	File History or Windows File Recovery	Éviter d'enregistrer de nouveaux fichiers
Utilisation de la combinaison Maj + Suppr	Backup or recovery tool	File bypasses the Recycle Bin
SD card or USB photos deleted	Cesser d'utiliser l'appareil	Deleted files usually bypass Recycle Bin
Google Photos deletion	Check Trash	Retention depends on backup status
iPhone photo deleted	Supprimés récemment	Apple keeps deleted photos for 30 days
SSD photo deletion	Vérifiez d'abord les sauvegardes	TRIM may reduce recovery chances
Formatted camera card	Photo recovery software	Do not take new photos first

Method 1: Recover Permanently Deleted Photos From the Recycle Bin

Before using advanced tools, confirm that the photos are actually permanently deleted.

Sous Windows :

Ouvrir Corbeille.
Search for the missing JPG, PNG, HEIC, RAW, or other image files.
Select the photos you need.
Right-click them and choose Restaurer.
Windows returns them to their original folders.

This method will not work if you already emptied the Recycle Bin, used Maj+Suppr., or deleted the pictures directly from many removable devices.

If the images are no longer there, move to the backup methods below instead of downloading or copying new files onto the affected drive.

Method 2: Recover Permanently Deleted Photos With File History

Windows File History can restore previous copies of photos if you enabled it before the deletion.

A vérifier :

Ouvrez l'explorateur de fichiers.
Navigate to the folder that previously contained your pictures.
Cliquez avec le bouton droit de la souris sur le dossier.
Sélectionner Show more options > Restore previous versions.
Choose a version created before the photos disappeared.
Open it to verify the images.
Sélectionner Restaurer ou Restaurer vers.

Microsoft explains that File History keeps copies of personal folders and can restore deleted files or earlier versions when a suitable backup exists.

Therefore, File History should usually come before third-party récupération de photos effacées logiciel.

The main limitation is simple: it cannot help if File History was never enabled or if no suitable backup contains the missing pictures.

Method 3: Recover Permanently Deleted Photos From Google Photos

If your missing pictures came from Google Photos, do not immediately scan your computer. Cloud deletion works differently from local disk deletion.

First, open Google Photos and check Poubelle.

Google currently states that deleted photos remain in Trash for:

60 days if Google Photos backed them up
30 jours if they were not backed up

You can restore the pictures while they remain there. Once Google Photos permanently deletes an item from Trash, Google’s standard recovery process cannot restore it.

Par conséquent, si vous souhaitez recover permanently deleted photos from Google Photos, also check:

Another phone or computer that may still contain a local copy
Google Photos Archive
Autres comptes Google
Device folders that were not synchronized
External backups
Downloads or exported photo libraries

A Windows recovery program cannot scan Google’s cloud servers. However, if the original picture also existed on an SD card, PC drive, or external storage device, you can scan that physical storage separately.

Method 4: Recover Permanently Deleted Photos With Windows File Recovery

When the Recycle Bin, File History, cloud storage, and other backups cannot restore the pictures, disk scanning becomes the next practical option.

Magic Data Recovery is designed for this situation. It can scan Windows-accessible storage such as HDDs, SSDs, USB flash drives, SD cards, and camera memory cards for deleted or lost files.

It supports more than 5,000 file types, including common photo formats such as JPG, PNG, TIFF, WEBP and HEIC, as well as camera RAW formats including CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF and DNG. The current free version also allows users to recover up to 500MB of data for testing.

FAQ

Can permanently deleted photos really be recovered?

Yes, you may be able to recover permanently deleted photos if the underlying data still exists. On HDDs, USB drives, and memory cards, deleted file data can remain until new information overwrites it. However, SSD TRIM, overwriting, secure deletion, physical damage, and cloud-side permanent deletion can significantly reduce or eliminate the possibility of recovery.

How can I recover permanently deleted photos without a backup?

To recover permanently deleted photos without a backup, stop using the affected storage device first. Windows users can try Windows File Recovery or a photo recovery program that scans the underlying storage. If the pictures came from an SD card, USB drive, or HDD, connect the device to another computer and save recovered files to a different drive.

Can I recover permanently deleted photos after emptying the Recycle Bin?

Potentially. Emptying the Recycle Bin removes normal access to the files, but the underlying data may remain on the drive until Windows overwrites its storage space. File History, Windows File Recovery, or dedicated recovery software may help. However, recovery becomes less likely after significant computer use or when SSD TRIM has already cleared the deleted blocks.

Can I recover permanently deleted photos from Google Photos?

Check Google Photos Trash first. Google currently keeps backed-up deleted photos there for 60 days and non-backed-up items for 30 days. Once Google permanently deletes an item, the standard Google Photos restoration process cannot bring it back. However, you may still find another copy on a phone, computer, external drive, or other backup.

Can I recover permanently deleted photos from an iPhone?

First check Photos > Recently Deleted. Apple keeps deleted photos there for 30 days before permanent removal. If the photos are no longer available, look for copies in device backups, computers, shared libraries, or other cloud services. Direct recovery from modern iPhone internal storage may not be possible after permanent deletion.

Can permanently deleted photos be recovered from an SSD?

Sometimes, but SSDs introduce an important limitation called TRIM. After deletion, TRIM may allow the SSD controller to clear the blocks that previously stored the photos. Once that process completes, conventional recovery tools may have little usable data to scan. Therefore, stop using the SSD immediately and check File History, cloud backups, and other copies first.

Can I recover permanently deleted photos from a formatted SD card?

Often, a quick format removes file system references without immediately overwriting every photo. Therefore, recovery software may still locate JPG, PNG, HEIC, or RAW images if you stopped using the card afterward. Do not take new photos, format the card again, or save recovered files back to the same SD card during the recovery process.
