You may tap on any of the files to select its checkbox, which will select it for recovery.

Your device's internal memory usually appears as '/data', and the device's SD card usually appears as '/mnt/sdcard' or something similar. If your device is rooted, the app should allow you to select the memory partition to scan. After launching the app, it will display two options: 'Basic scan' and 'Full scan.' The 'full' scan functionality is available only on rooted devices, whereas the 'basic' functionality is available regardless of whether your device is rooted.

DiskDigger is now available as an app for Android devices! You can find it on the Google Play Store by searching for 'DiskDigger'.Īlthough DiskDigger does not require your device to be rooted, it is more likely to recover more photos and files if your device is rooted.
