How to recover deleted GoPro videos?

Oh no! Losing those GoPro vids is a total nightmare :scream: But don’t freak out just yet, there’s hope! Here’s a step-by-step way to try and get those precious files back.

  1. Stop Using the SD Card: First things first, don’t use the SD card at all. Any new data written to it could overwrite your deleted videos and make them irrecoverable.

  2. Disk Drill To the Rescue: Trust me, this tool is a lifesaver. You’ll want to download Disk Drill, which is specifically designed for recovering lost data from SD cards and other storage devices.

  3. Install and Scan: Once you’ve got Disk Drill installed on your computer, insert your GoPro’s SD card into your PC using a card reader. Open Disk Drill and select the SD card from the list of devices. Click the ‘Recover’ button to start the scan. Sit tight, this might take a while, especially if there’s a lot of data on the card.

  4. Preview and Recover: After the scan is complete, Disk Drill will show you a list of recoverable files. Preview the files to make sure they’re the ones you need. Then, select the specific videos and click ‘Recover’ again to restore them.

  5. Save the Recovered Videos: Make sure to save your recovered videos to a different location than the SD card—like your computer’s hard drive or an external drive, just to avoid any mishaps.

  6. Backup Your Videos: Once your files are safe, consider backing them up to another device or cloud storage to avoid future crises!

Disk Drill is super user-friendly and really effective, so give it a shot. Keeping fingers crossed for ya!
