How to Access Recycle Bin on Android and Recover Deleted Files

Step 1 Download DataKit Android Recovery toolkit to your PC and install it properly. While the installation is processing, connect your Android Phone to your PC.

Step 2 Launch the software. Stay on Android Data Recovery panel and wait until the connection is confirmed on the interface. During the period, do not use your phone.

Step 3 Allow USB debugging. To enable USB debugging function, you need to enable the developer mode on your Android Phone first. The path depends on the versions of your Android system and may vary slightly. You may also follow the instructions that are displayed on the interface.

To enable the developer mode, first tap Settings App and then tap About phone / About device option on the menu. There you may find your build number and tap it for 7 times until it states that you are now a developer. Return to the menu of Settings and you would find a new option called Developer options. Then enable USB debugging on the menu list of Developer options. For Android 2.3 or below, USB debugging can be found under Development option which is on the menu list of Application in Settings App.

Step 4 Choose the types of data you wish to recover from Android. Just tick the box ahead of each icon. Data including messages, contacts, call logs, audios, and videos can all be recovered. If you wish to recover all the types, just tick Select all at the bottom. Finally click on Next button to move on.

Step 5 Before the next step, please grant authorization of scanning the data on your Android Phone as there would be a pop-up window. Tap “Allow/Authorize/Grant” to grant permission for scanning your Android Phone.

It may take a few seconds before it completes the scanning. All the files that are deleted are displayed and available for preview, together with those existing files. The list of the types is on the left. If you wish to view the deleted files only, just turn on the button of ‘Only display the deleted item(s)’ at the top. Please note that the deleted files would be marked in red in comparison with the existing files in black.

Choose the files you expect to recover and click on Recover button. You would be asked to decide the saving path. Once it is decided, your deleted files would be saved on your PC. The files can be viewed and transferred to anywhere you like. The steps are also available for Android tablets.

Yes! With just simple clicks, the data you deleted is now back to your PC. This is not magic! This is DataKit Android Recovery toolkit!
