HI,
I deleted one MP4 accedentially from my imate. unfortunately there is no recycle bin to retrieve from, is ther any way to restore it back
thanks
No.
You can check C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\{PocketPCname}\Synchronized Files Backup though, if the file can't be found in the PCs recycle bin.
If you deleted a file on a storage card, you might be able to find an undelete program that will recover it when the storage card is hooked up directly to the PC. (There's no way to do this for the built-in storage).

Thanks for help
Put the card in a PC card reader and empty the trash.

Why don't I have a "recycled" folder

Usually it is Windows on your PC that puts it onto any removable storage unless you have explicitly told it not to i.e in Recycle Bin Properties. Once the folder is on your storage card you won't see it unless you are viewing with options for 'Hide Hidden Folders' and 'Operating system' files are selected to view both.
Another reason could be if you are using Resco File Explorer, as that app has it's own Recycle Bin which deleted files are moved to unless you have selected for it not to.
Hope that helps
I think its related to Resco File explorer

Hi,
Yesterday I've deleted by mistake a file in the storage card called album.(something)
After doing Hard Reset usually the phone searches for pictures and everything that is in the DCIM folder is presented in the pictures tab.
Now it shows me all JPG,GIF or BMP that's on the card including icon pictures and unused system pictures.
How can I restore the file to focus in the DCIM?
In addition is there a good freeware to restore files from memory card? (there's no recycle bin in WM)
Thanks,

Hi,
I have problem I turned on File encryption and used it. Later I noticed that it is possible to copy files with ActiveSync without entering password. I started to think that it useless in the case if my phone will be stolen. I turned it off.
Yesterday, I wanted to copy photos from my HD2 but I can't do that. If I copy files by using ActiveSync 4.5 I receive empty files(size=0). If I copy file in the phone by using Explorer from DCIM folder to another folder the file size also is empty. I connected to PC and used flash as a disk drive in that case I saw encoded files, I copied them to the PC and looked in hex editor the files have some encrypted data.
I even tried to turn on encryption. I copied 1 file using ActiveSync and it has the same addition "94ab5ede.menc" as the files I can't copy.
Please help me. Those files are very important.
Hi,
I had 1 GB worth of .wav files saved on my internal storage via the Easy Voice Recorder app. I kept getting storage space notifications and the Galaxy gives you the option to view files by type. Under Miscellanious, there was a file called EasyVoiceRecorder - I though it was a temp file of sorts so I deleted it (like a total idiot). Turns out, it wasn't a temp file but a folder containing all my .wav files.
I've since rooted the phone, bought Disk Digger and ran a scan. It only returned a hand full of small .wav files but not the ones I deleted.
I've been told Recuva might help but that works via PC and will require my internal storage to be mapped as a drive. I can't find a way to do this.
Any ideas?
I've had about the same problem, but then with pictures I've accidentally deleted.
I've used Easy Recovery Pro and scanned my complete internal memory (agressive scan).
Took a while, but I was able to recover all pictures I deleted.
Solid state storage cannot be recovered once items are deleted. The only way would be if it somehow had something like a "recycle bin" like windows does. I wouldn't know for sure if that exists.

Howdy, couldn't find this anywhere
htc Advantage 7510 running MichyPrima ROM for years. Internal (built-in) flash drive developed one corrupt directory (the backup directory for SPB backup, natch) and got filled up, before this had plenty of room. The bad directory now appears to contain subdirectories and files with gobble-de-goop names, dates, etc. and when I try to delete any or all of them it tells me either that the file name contains illegal characters and therefor can't be deleted, or that the file is a system file and access is denied (of course the files are not write-protected). Trying to get at it and delete it while connected to an XP desktop also doesn't help because it is not recognized as an external drive, but rather as a sub-directory of a "mobile device", so I get similar errors. All other directories are fine, and most of my installed , configured software resides on this drive, along with a lot of data (I've got all that backed up to the desktop computer). I also removed some files from other directories to make some room just in case this was complicating things.
Is there some utility that will let me make an end-run around this and just delete the directory and its contents? I really don't want to format the entire drive and start over from nothing.
TIA for any advice!

Remove corrupted directory from internal flash drive checkout following link for more details.
This won't help.
As stated above, only the removable micro SD card can bee seen as a true external flash drive, not the intenal memory.
The only solution would be a Windows Mobile tool similar to Scandisk.
Now you really can't find anything to solve your problem, you can still backup all your data and hard reset your device : it should set it back clean.
I kind of concluded that myself. Just hoping someone knows of that elusive utility that will let me work on the drive as if it were a regular removable drive. I REALLY don't want to go the formatting route.
