I was asked recently if photos inadvertently deleted from a large-capacity SD card could be recovered. If you didn't know, deleting files normally does not wipe them out, you just don't see them anymore. If the data isn't overwritten, it's usually possible to get them back.
There are many recovery tools on the market with Disk Drill being the best that I tried, but for $80 that was a bit much for a (hopefully) single-time use. In the end, I used Recuva, free (I love free) Windows-only software that could recover all the files and put them on my hard drive. It's impossible to know if it recovered every single file, but Recuva's and Disk Drill's file counts matched, so it likely snagged them all.
You can find Recuva at the link below.
