...As you'll no doubt aware, most disks/SSDs, memory sticks, microSDs still contain most old "deleted" files, even if they aren't obvious, until where the data was has been overwritten by something else..
Couple of useful bits of code, TestDisk & PhotoRec can help recover lost stuff (or stuff someone thought they'd deleted (!!!!) )..
get them here..
TestDisk - CGSecurity
NB Both these bits of software can completely screw machines/PCs/Laptops. whatever so BE CAREFULL!!!!!
I'm just about to try PhotoRec on the N1 and see what she finds... & will report...
My mate dodgy Rob found fascinating deleted SMS messages on his wife's (non-Android) 'phone.... the story of what he did about it is even funnier

If you pop the Card into a pc reader this may work for you..

Same company as Ccleaner and defraggler.
how do u grt to the recover softwere?If the data hasen't been overwritten on the card, the recovery software should work. So if it was only deleted recently and you haven't loaded it with stuff since, you should be fine.
Mine too! GREAT tool....worked flawlessly!That actually saved my life
is there any way to recover a pic after i delete it?
I sucessfully recovered all movies my daughter had erased with recuva, but the biggest one had already the beggining overwritten by thinkfree, even tough I tried to recover only a few minutes after the deletion (I wasn
