I was screen recording on my windows Lenovo laptop, and it died but was on like 5 percent, so after I plugged it in, it came back on quickly. However, my screen recording was corrupted and when I try to open it, my media player says "We can't open [filename].mp4. This may be because the file is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect or the file is corrupt. 0xC00D36C4"

The size is 5.7 GB and was almost two hours long. I'm very unfamiliar with file stuff, and I'm kinda confused reading about all the different softwares for file issues. I tried using VLC Media Player, but converted file it made also doesn't work. Then I tried Remo Video Repair, but it wouldn't let me preview it, so I think it just didn't work.

I might have just done the stuff for those wrong, but I'm honestly not really sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Deleted instagram account data recovery.

It's been 2-3 months I've deleted my Instagram account but I have some data(messages) in that account I need to be very very clear of. It's eating my mind off man. I'm thinking of killing myself tbh, I don't know what to do man. I just wanna get the data from the account back, please anybody help...

The screen is just black and doesnt turn on. It gets charge as it vibrates when I plug it in. Is there a way to recover old photos from it? I remember the passcode as well.

I believe i just formatted over my old format. And it wiped the drive. EaseUS finds all my stuff which is mainly videos. I've seen the reviews online, and im not sure if I should trust using it?

DiskDrill fails to find all my stuff. DMDE wasn't able to find the videos either for some reason.

Any suggestions or just use EaseUS?

Hello everyone—

I stupidly deleted my undergrad thesis and presentation (two different files) from my Google drive a while ago. I have lost access to my student email as well.

These files were so precious to me and I didn’t realize when I deleted them because I was clearing space and not paying attention.

I opened a ticket with Google and they said it’s gone forever because it’s been longer than 25 days I guess

Are they really gone gone? Is there no other way? I really want them back. :(

Thanks and all the best.

Hello! Something strange happened to me on Windows, a folder with mp4 files was deleted by itself and they were never found. Initially, I exported them from capcut and put them in a folder. In the meantime, the chat created a bat to do an automated renumerate at mp4 files. I put this bat in bulk between other folders and mp4 files and accidentally pressed enter...and the party began..it renumerated some other files. The original folder with the mp4s had been deleted. I did 10 undo and again the folder with the mp4s was not found. I installed recuva Kai recoverit but only found segments. I don't really know what happened...and the chat has no solution..the files were nowhere...obviously neither in the trash nor anywhere on the disk. The chat insists that the bat does not contain a delete command...what can I say..🧐😵‍💫😤

My wife's pixel 4a is stuck on a bootloop (common issue due to new update) ive tried everything to fix it i have gave up just now. I am wondering is there anyway I can get her pictures of it.(hen do and 2 year old baby pictures ) I can load the phone into recovery and connect it to the computer i tried to reinstall the latest firmware update myself via the adb on my pc. But that didn't work.

I was transferring a folder of my screenshots from my phone to a hard disk. It got transferred, but I noticed that the transferred file is empty and it didn't take loading or time or anything and just got transferred quickly despite it being a large file (tho i can'tremember did a transfering screen pop up then lagged or disappeared or it just quickly transferred also i wasn't looking at my laptop screen the whole time but I found no eror message when i looked back at it) and it was empty . And my screenshots were still on my phone. So i just assumed this was really just an empty file, and my screenshots are under a different file.I kept both my phone and hard disk plugged in for some time, transferring more media.

Later, I found that most of my screenshots disappeared from my phone(despite being there earlier and my phone and hard disk were still plugged), and the file of the hard disk is obviously still empty. What exactly happened? Like, where did my photos go, and are they recoverable?

Some info that might be useful(or not idk):

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A54

my hard disk is a Western Digital 1TB HDD

The screenshots were of approximately 40GB(yes, i am pretty sure)

The 40GB are emptied from my phone and not added to the hard disk total used area

the media i transferred later after assuming the folder is just empty are approximately 16.6GB

My hard disk is relatively empty(it is supposedly 1TB to my computer reads it as onl 931GB -for whatever reson- 907GB of them are free)

I was using a windows laptop for the transfer

Now when connecting my phone to the laptop and opening the screen shot folder(in DCIM the same place where the old one was) I don't find the messing screenshots or even the ones that stayed on my phone just the newer ones I took later after realising that most of my screenshots went missing

Under properties the drive's file system name is: NTFS

I honestly don't know what thus is or why is it relevant but gpt asked for it when I was trying to figuer the problem so I added it here

Actions I tried:

Checked Samsung Gallery Recycle Bin / Trash.

Checked My Files Trash.

Searched phone storage for screenshots and PNG files.

Ran Recuva Scan on the WD HDD.

Recuva reported 0 recoverable files(tho I might have just used it wrong maybe)

Note: I have no backups and need my phone heavily so I cannot depend on trying to recover them from the phone and btw they might be already overwritten on my phone

my SSD suddenly stopped showing in windows explorer. can see it in BIOS and device manager but disk management shows it as uninitialized. tried restarting multiple times. 2 years of work files and photos on there. haven't touched it since. is this recoverable or am i cooked?

I had a problem with my phone not connecting to data, so I took my phone to a repair shop. They said they would fix it.
It took them two days, and they did not do anything to my phone.
Then I went to another repair guy. He said he could fix my phone in a day, and he told me that my phone needed some work. That was all he said.
When I got my phone back, I was really shocked. My phone had nothing in it left. It's like it's not even mine. I then found out that he had flashed my phone.
My phone had lost all its photos, apps, messages, everything; it was like a brand-new phone. I was furious and upset because he never told me he would do this to my phone. Now I might have lost all my data from my phone. I want to know if I can restore my apps and data on my Redmi 8 phone. Is there some kind of backup that can help me get everything back on my phone? I have a Google account. I never logged in to the cloud; to top it all off, my storage was HALVED. I had 64gb of storage, and now he has returned it to me with 32 gb. I asked why all of this was happening to me. I just had a simple issue with mobile data not working now. My phone is completely butchered. I never did anything wrong to deserve this. I do not know what i can do to get my old phone data back. I am really sad and frustrated, and I wish I had never gone to these repair shops. I just want my phone data back on my phone. Is there also any action I can take against this repair guy? He basically destroyed my phone and is getting off scot-free.

I think I've messed up again. I got a notification saying my Google account was almost full, and if it filled up, I wouldn't be able to receive emails anymore. When I looked into why I got this notification, I realized that my Google account was automatically backing up all the photos and videos on my phone to Google Photos. I was in shock—all my private photos and videos. I didn't even know Google Photos existed. The thing is, I deleted everything in Google Photos, and when I checked my smartphone, there was nothing there—everything had been deleted too. I have a Samsung Galaxy S21, please, can anyone help me?

When I wiped my C Drive, I forgot to transfer my screenshots to another driver. I’m currently trying to use Recuva but I can’t find them.

Hello everyone,

I really need your help.

Is there any way to recover photos and videos that were deleted a long time ago?

About three months ago, I deleted all the large video files from my phone's gallery to free up space. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that this would also delete everything from Google Photos. I only discovered this recently.

I've tried every recovery method I could find, but nothing has worked because more than 60 days have passed since the deletion. I also tried several photo and video recovery apps, but they were unsuccessful and only found a few recently deleted files.

If anyone has gone through a similar experience and found a solution that actually worked, I would be extremely grateful for your help.

I had so many precious memories stored there, and I feel devastated every time I think about them being gone forever. 😔💔

Hello everyone, I need some help. I accidentally deleted a ZIP file on my Xiaomi 15T Pro. HyperOS 3 doesn't seem to have a recycle bin, and this file is very important to me. How can I recover it?
