File vs. Folder

Today, I accidentally deleted my landlord's pictures of his child's graduation, girlfriend, daughter, and vacation when he asked me to delete a video off his phone. FML

If pictures were stored in memory card then there's a chance it can be restored otherwise you're gonna need to find a new place. sorry op

That sucks. Hopefully there's a backup he can retrieve the pictures from.

If it is a smart phone, there is often a secondary delete function that saves content from the last 30 days unless deleted permanently.

Go into recently deleted if it was on an iPhone, they'll all be there

Was the landlords phone an iPhone ? If so the. Go to photos and there should be a deleted pictures folder and all the pictures should be there... Unless it has been 30 or more days than the pictures auto delete. Hope this helps!

If it's an iPhone there's a "recently deleted" photo album and you can move them back.

I did this on my dads phone once, i cried all day . Lol ( i was little)

I did something just like that... My boyfriend asked me to restore an important business e-mail, which would have been very simple had I not pressed the wrong thing and clearled it from the hard drive altogether.

If it's an iPhone it can also be in the cloud. Check by hooking it up to the computer.
