Android Question

Guest
Hi everyone. I'm in a desperate situation, as I was trying to make more space on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300, cm11 nightly). I went to storage under settings, then I noticed that miscellaneous files (Misc) were taking up too much space. When I opened it, the first on the list was WhatsApp with over 400 mb's of files. For a moment I so stupidly thought that these are messages that take up space, and I pressed the delete button in front of it. Then I realized that they were pictures They were so precious to me, and I HAVE TO get them back. I have tried using wondershare data recovery for android in my pc, no luck. I tried Remo data recovery, it didn't even detect my device. I tried disk digger, still no luck. Please, help me guys I really have to get back those images.. Thanks in advance.
 
I have had this issue happen to me before. I have tried some methods and it is really hard to get them back unless it is on an external sd card it is impossible to do it. I am wondering did you ever make a backup of your data partition? Also Google+ has a backup option. Did you happen to enable that? Because if you did it may be backed up to your Google+ images privately and you can restore it that way. I need more information so if you can create an account it will help to solve your issue.

werewolfboy is pretty much stating your best options at the moment.

Google+ does a backup of all photos, if it is enabled, and I know I have enabled it because of reasons like yours. The photos aren't automatically posted to your account, you are the only one that can see them :)
