Using a file recovery tool you can recover the deleted files from SD cards. You might be thinking that how it is possible to restore deleted files. This article explains the detailed procedure. In order to understand it in a better way, it is good to know the reasons for deletion or loss of files, which might also help to prevent the data loss in future. Here are a few common scenarios.

- Sometimes while synchronizing the files between computer and portable devices which use SD cards, if your system might accidentally restart or shut down due to operating system crash or power failure. In such instances the chances of losing files are bit more due to sync error.
