Undelete files from SD cards & USB drives you plug in. Real previews first.
Read full description
Deleted photos from your camera's SD card? Formatted a USB stick by mistake? Unerased looks for deleted files on the memory cards and USB drives you plug into your phone, and shows you exactly what it can get back before you pay anything.
It works on external media only: SD and microSD cards in a USB card reader, and USB flash drives over an OTG adapter. It cannot recover files from your phone's internal storage. No app can do that without root, and we'd rather tell you now than after you've paid.
HOW IT WORKS
• Plug in the card reader or USB drive and pick it in the app.
• Unerased opens it read-only. Nothing is ever written to the drive you are recovering from.
• Undelete comes first: on FAT32 and exFAT drives it reads the file system's own records of deleted files, so files usually keep their original names.
• Then a deeper, best-effort search scans the free space for photos (JPEG, PNG), videos (MP4, MOV) and PDFs, even after a quick format.
• Every result shows a real preview decoded from the recovered data itself, never a cached thumbnail.
• Save the files you want to another place, such as your phone or a different drive. Unerased refuses to save onto the drive you are recovering from.
HONEST BY DESIGN
• Each file is labelled intact, partial or unlikely, so you know what to expect before you save it.
• If nothing can be recovered, Unerased says so plainly. No fake results, no padded lists.
• Files that have been overwritten can't be brought back, and fragmented videos often come back damaged. That's a limit of how storage works, not something any app can fix.
• Tip: stop using the card or drive as soon as you notice the loss. Every new photo or file can overwrite what you are trying to rescue.
YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
• No internet permission: the app cannot send your files anywhere.
• No ads, no tracking, no accounts.
• No broad "all files" storage access. You choose where recovered files are saved.
PRICING
Scanning and previews are free. Saving recovered files needs a one-time Pro unlock. No subscription.
WHAT YOU NEED
• Android 10 or newer with USB OTG support
• A USB card reader or OTG adapter for your SD card or USB drive
• A FAT32 or exFAT drive for undelete. The deeper search also works on other formats.
