How to recover deleted photos and videos Galaxy S9

[Android Central Question]

I accidentally deleted all my folders that contained videos and photos, in the gallery. The trash option was not turned on for the gallery. I did not have google photos installed either. How can I recover them?

Welcome to Android Central.

Interesting that you mention all of the things that would have saved you and yet here we are.

The odds are very low that you'll be able to recover much but you could try a PC program like Recuva. Recuva is pretty good but I've found similar offerings that recover more the problem is some of them cost and some you cannot try or you can try but cannot keep what you recover without buying. I would get Recuva and plug into a PC and give it try. I would rush out and spend any money without research into the program and careful consideration of the reviews of the product.

Moving forward you may want to consider some of those things that brought you here.

You don't regularly back up your device?

Welcome to Android Central! You deleted the folders from within the Gallery app? If you use My Files and look in the /DCIM/Camera directory, do you see any of the photos there?

These are photos you took with your camera app, and not images you downloaded from the web, right?
