At 1am, my wife got a message from her MOTO E saying that she was running out of space. She got an offer to delete some stuff.

Rather than wait till morning, she said she followed the prompts.

One of the prompts was; "Delete forever?". She said "Yes".

She has now deleted all her data, photos, etc. as if she had a new phone out of the box.

Is there any way to retrieve that data?

Thanks

Yeh, "Delete forever" is exactly what it says, and there is no way to undelete, due to the secure encrypted storage that Android uses.

Thanks to both @Dannydet and @mikedt for their kind responses.

Before my OP, I had found the following site:

https://www.bankbazaar.com/smart-gadget/how-to-recover-deleted-files-on-android-phone.html

Based on the encouraging info from BankBazaar, I then asked the "open" question on this highly-respected forum:

- "Is there any way to retrieve that data?"

The responses made me suspect that BankBazaar might be pushing scams.

I found this link:

https://geekflare.com/android-data-recovery/

I then searched for reviews of the original link above for "bankbazaar". I found this:

https://www.mouthshut.com/websites/...Bazaar website is a,as it is quite insightful.

The reviews were poor. Admittedly they related to credit cards. But clearly any recommendation by BankBazaar should be avoided.

Thanks.
