File vs. Folder

By NotThatButton - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Missoula

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

Same thing different taste

Today, I created a shared album with over a 1000 pictures and videos from a romantic vacation with my girlfriend of 3 months. Later, I got an angry text from my ex. It seems I accidentally added everything to a shared work-related album with my ex, which I didn't realise I had. My ex thinks I did it on purpose. FML

Today, my husband accidentally erased some pictures from our hard drive. No worries, nothing major: just everything from our wedding and the birth of our first child. FML

Today, I was at a wedding. After videotaping the ceremony for a few minutes, my memory was full. I went to delete another video. I accidentally played the loudest video I had. No one was looking at the bride or groom anymore. FML

Today, I deleted a load of junk that was messing up my mother's computer. I don't know how I'm going to tell her I accidentally wiped out all of her wedding photos. FML

Today, I accidentally deleted my YouTube account because I was trying to eliminate distractions from school. My dumb self eventually realized all I had to do was stop uploading, and return to it during my vacation. FML

Today, I replaced a usually fun collegue's picture of his kids with a picture of my face against glass, so it looked I was inside the screen. Everyone laughed, but he reported me because I tried to "erase his children" and "if anything happens to them" it's now my fault. FML

Today, I went searching for my old school laptop only to find that my stepdad had swiped it and given it to his mother. My sex tapes and nudes are on it. FML

Today, a teacher asked me to edit a video of her class. Unfamiliar with cameras that work with video tape, I accidentally recorded over her video. The footage is impossible for me to get back. FML

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

Okay, if he has an iPhone: there's usually a folder for "recently deleted" pictures (I know it's in the 5s/ 6 for sure) and if not, iCloud storage usually keeps a good backup of that. If he's using an android, chances are that there's a way to get the memory card and retrieve any lost info. I haven't used an android phone for long so I really don't know what else to tell you, but look online and there's probably tons of people with the same problem.

"Sure I'll delete one video from your phone for you." *one* "Nope." *Two* "That wasn't it." *Three* "Crap." *Four* "How do you do this again?"

Every time I see this FML, I can't help but wonder "How?" I mean, I get accidentally deleting one of the above mentioned, but all of them? What did you do?
