My android sim card got full and my whole picture album dissapered in a second .Pictures from apps such as facebook ,instagram, kik, and snapchat are still there but the ones i took with my phone are gone. This happened once before but they were there again in a few days. I dont know how they dissapered nor how they came back. After my album disappeared i took more pictures and they showed up but not my previous ones. i tried connecting my phone to my computer but even on my computer they dont show up. There was like 5 or 700 . I want them back Please help me !
 
Welcome to Android Forums. Sorry for the delay in responding to your question.

I think what you are talking about is your micro SD card. All pictures are stored in the DCIM folder on the SD card. Look in their. If their not there, there gone forever.
If they are there, transfer all data on SD card to computer. Reformat micro SD card by going to Start/Computer. Right click the SD card Icon. Select the format option, select to format to default setting.
Put SD card back into phone. Select to erase. Reboot phone.
Put back into computer and transfer just what data you need making sure not to get it full again (I think buying a bigger micro SD card is in your future).

For more phone specific info and support, go to your phones forum.

Hope this has helped.
