Oops! Deleted your favorite vacation photos? Or maybe your SanDisk memory card just went blank? Don’t panic! You can get your files back with SanDisk Recovery Software. It’s easier than you think.
What is SanDisk Recovery Software?
SanDisk offers a simple tool called RescuePRO. It helps recover deleted or lost data from SD cards, USB drives, and more.
It can bring back:
- Photos
- Videos
- Music
- Documents
Let’s dive into how to use it—in plain and fun language!
Step 1: Get the Software
Visit the official SanDisk website or LC Technology (they make RescuePRO). Select the version that fits your needs:
- RescuePRO – For basic recovery.
- RescuePRO Deluxe – For more advanced recovery, like large video files.
Click Download. Then install it like any other app. Just follow the setup wizard—nothing tricky here!
Step 2: Plug in Your Device
Insert your SanDisk card or USB drive into your computer. Make sure it shows up as a drive.
No drive showing? That means your device may be physically damaged. In that case, you might need professional help. ☹️
Step 3: Open RescuePRO
Once the software is open, you’ll see several options:
- Recover Photos
- Recover Audio
- Recover Documents
Select the type of files you want to recover.
Step 4: Start the Scan
Pick the drive that has your SanDisk card/USB. Click Start.
The program will scan everything. You’ll see a progress bar—it may take a few minutes.
Pro tip: Don’t use the device while it’s scanning. That can mess things up!
Step 5: Review the Results
After the scan, you’ll see a list of files. RescuePRO will show thumbnails for pictures, so you can recognize them easily.
Select the files you want by checking the boxes. Then click Recover.
Choose where to save them. Important: Don’t save them back to the same SanDisk device! Pick your computer instead.
Step 6: Celebrate Your Victory!
That’s it! Your files are safely back home. 🥳
Now you can:
- Edit your photos
- Watch your videos
- Write songs about your recovery triumph
Extra Tips
- Always eject your SanDisk device properly to avoid data corruption.
- Backup your files regularly.
- Don’t wait long if you accidentally delete something. The sooner you act, the better!
When Not to Use It
If your device is not showing up or making weird noises, RescuePRO won’t help. That’s a hardware problem. Time to call in the tech heroes!
