Recover Lost dir on SD Card

DiskInternals Partition Recovery allows you to recover lost folders and LOST.DIR files, no matter how they were deleted from the computer.

You only pay for the PRO version after confirming that your lost files have been recovered. The built-in File Preview engine enables you to preview the recovered files for confirmation before upgrading your software to save them on your PC or remote storage. Here's a guide on how to use DiskInternals Partition Recovery.

Lost dir file

• Download the app and install it on your computer system. Launch it to recover your lost LOST.DIR files. If the folder was lost from an external drive, connect the drive to the computer where the DiskInternals software is installed.
• Select the drive where the lost LOST.DIR file was previously located and choose a data recovery mode: Fast Recovery or Full Recovery.
• Full recovery takes longer but recovers more deeply because it goes deeper into the drive to find lost files. When the scanning is complete, you will see the deleted files appear with a red asterisk to indicate that they are the files you need to recover.
• Preview the recovered files to confirm they are the ones you want to get back. Simply select the file(s) and click on the “Preview” option.
• The recovered LOST.DIR files must be saved to a new storage location and not the same drive where they got lost from. You can export the files to remote storage via FTP.

Note that DiskInternals Partition Recovery uses an advanced recovery algorithm trusted by IT experts for more than 15 years.
