Important information

Recovery is not guaranteed. Results depend on device access, storage condition, and whether the original data is still available. Files that have been overwritten or are no longer accessible to the device cannot be restored.

Scan results may include existing files, cached files, thumbnails, or duplicate copies. Not every result is a deleted original.
