Can I Recover My Deleted DCIM Folder on Android?

I had a similar issue once and I found Recuva to be a bit hit-or-miss with phones. When I tried connecting mine, it wouldn't let me select it as a location. Make sure your phone is set to 'file transfer' mode when you connect it to your PC; that might help.

Unfortunately, recovering files on Android can be a tricky process. Once they're deleted, they aren't always easily retrievable. However, you could consider trying some recovery software. A popular choice is Recuva, which you can use when your phone is connected as a USB drive. Just keep in mind that success isn't guaranteed.

You're not alone! A lot of us have gone through this. If Recuva doesn't work, there are other tools like DiskDigger or EaseUS MobiSaver that focus specifically on mobile recovery. Just remember to act quick, because the more you use your phone, the lower the chances of recovery.
