Deleted Files in Lightroom, any way to recover??

I deleted hundreds of photos in lightroom, and I think they also got deleted from the folders that I exported them too because they are now missing.
When I deleted them they went into my trash, and then I went on and emptied my trash.
I don't have their thumbnails or anything, is there any way I can get these back?! It's an emergency!!!!!
Thanks!!

Well, you can try downloading and installing and running something called an "Undelete Utility". There are freeware ones available. If you are going to do this, do not do anything else on your computer.
Also, develop a comprehensive and automated backup strategy so that this won't ever happen again.

    You can try data recovery software, like Stellar Phoenix.  That may (or may not) recover some or (probably not) all of them.  Any that cannot be recovered have probably been overwritten and are gone for good.
    Note that you should not do anything further with the machine until you have the data recovery software, and should not install said software on the machine, since that may overwrite the data you're trying to recover.  You'll want to have some other drive you can boot from and use the recovery software from.

  • Iphoto deleted all my masters, any way to recover them? PLEASE HELP!!

    Iphoto deleted all my masters and I cant seem to find them, is there any way to recover them? Iphoto 11 version. The only pictures that are left are some previews and some thumbnails.

    Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If that fails continue with:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    Kevin-
    You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad?  Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
    There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well.  I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

  • Is there any way to recover accidentally deleted photos?

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6 running on Windows 7 PC.
    After importing a group of photos including JPG and RAW files from a memory card (which was later reformatted), I noticed that the photos ended up in a folder on the wrong external drive. I tried to move them to another folder on the main drive using Lightroom and somehow deleted the original files. I can still see them in a Collection, but they cannot be edited or Developed as the underlying file cannot be found. Is there any way to recover these photos? Willing to listen to all suggestions. Thanks for your input.

    Find an "undelete utility" (one such utility is called Recuva, but I have never used it) and see if it can recover your RAW photos. If you are going to do this, do not perform any other tasks on your computer except to find, download, install and run this undelete utility. If possible, download and install on a different drive than the photos were on. You can also try this undelete utility on your camera card.
    While I'm at it, you might want to develop and implement a backup strategy, in which you don't delete from the camera card until you have TWO (or more) copies of your photos, on TWO (or more) different physical disks. And don't forget to back up your catalog file regularly and automatically.

  • Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

    Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

  • {Solved} any way to recover deleted user

    Hi,
    I had comitted a terible mistake. I have deleted user with userdel (name) command and now I cannot access my home directory. Permission denied.
    I can access it as root, so no problem, all the files are there. But, is there any way to recover the deleted user, so I can access my home directory as normal user? A help will be very much appreciated.

    Hi.

    pass the -M option to useradd to avoid creating user home directory
    pass the -u option to specify the user ID to use, look at this with ls -alln /home/ then you should see the uid number side to your old home dir

    Hi ilpchow,
    Ok, Undo does't work.
    Try Step 2:
    Menu > File > Revert To > Last Saved
    If that doesn't work, try the other suggestions.
    I hope you did Save sometime .

  • I have deleted my iPhoto library by mistake. Is there any way to recover it?  My trash has been deleted and it is not in there.

    Help!  I have deleted my iphoto library.  Is there any way to recover it?  It is not in my trash as I emptied that.

    If you really moved it to the Trash and emptied the Trash, your best option is to restore the iPhoto library from your backup.
    But if you did not actually trash the library and it is just missing, search for it with Find Any File as described by Old Toad in this post:   Re: iPhoto Library is missing. What do I do?
    If you don't have a backup and cannot find the library, you will need to buy recovery software to find the photos, but that will not restore the library.

    I deleted a video off my iPhone 5. Is there any way to recover this? I have read the Wondershare is a file recovery program that my work, but its $100 USD and I was wondering if there was any other way?

    No.
    There is no Apple supported way to recover video that you delete if you have not made a backup of it.

  • Is there any way to recover a deleted sparse bundle?

    I had an old sparsebundle (380GB) saved onto an external drive.
    I wanted to keep this old sparsebundle,
    but when I went to run a new Time Machine backup to this external drive it deleted the old sparsebundle.
    Is there any way to recover this deleted sparsebundle.
    As I began to run the new Time Machine backup, it changed the name of the old sparsebundle
    from xxxxx.sparsebundle
    to xxxx.purgeable
    then POOF it disappeared.
    I cancelled the new Time Machine backup as soon as I saw the file extension change to .purgeable,
    but even though the new Time Machine backup didn't seem to start (I cancelled it in time),
    the old sparsebundle is gone.
    I ran Data Rescue and all it could find is a file that is only a few KILObytes called xxxxx.in_process.
    It would take a long time for the 380GB sparsebundle to be overwritten,
    so I don't think that happened.
    But can the old sparsebundle be recovered (and be usable)?

    A sparsebundle is a disk image.. if the actual file info is wiped then I really doubt you can recover it. Since you ran a recovery software which has worked recovering stuff for me.. and it couldn't find it.. your only hope would be real data recovery centre.. but although they can get raw data off the disk how useful it would be is questionable.. sorry but I think it is gone.
