Currently keep many files on our devices, such as photos, videos, documents, etc.. Were so confident that these devices may accidentally erase any valid file and need to recover it later.

In this tutorial we will teach you how to recover files that have been removed from our tablet.

For this we will use a program called Hexamob Recovery. This program has two versions, a free one called "lite" and a payment called "Pro". Both versions can download them from the Play Store.

It is not always possible to recover files, depends on many factors such as fragmentation of the system, the status of deleted files, if the sector was overwritten, etc.. To avoid this it is recommended not to write anything in memory until the files have been recovered.
