how to restore pictures after factory reset on S7?

[Android Central Question]

My son was on my phone and entered the wrong password too many times and it automatically factory reset deleting all of my pictures and videos from my internal storage, SD card, and everywhere else I have looked. How do I get them back?

The copies on the internal storage are gone forever.

The copies on the SD card may be recoverable using a card reader attached to your computer and an "undelete" program.

The easiest option is to restore them from Google Photos service or other backup you previously made.
