In this tutorial we’ll talk about TestDisk and PhotoRec in Ubuntu and Linux Mint .PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media’s file system has been severely damaged or reformatted.
Install PhotoRec in Ubuntu
