Data Recovery of Files from an Accidentally Formatted MicroSD Card

Data recovery became the only solution for a home user in Vancouver, British Columbia, after they accidentally formatted their 64 GB SanDisk MicroSD card. The card had been used to store personal files—photos, videos, and other important memories. After the format, it appeared completely empty, and with no backup available, the customer feared everything was gone for good.

Not knowing what else to do, the user turned to WeRecoverData, the leading data recovery company trusted to restore files from all types of devices, including those accidentally formatted.

In this case, the fact that no recovery attempts had been made before contacting WeRecoverData actually helped. The team got to work right away, knowing that careful handling is key after a format. Using advanced tools and proven recovery methods, they performed a deep-level scan of the MicroSD card, searching for hidden traces of the original files.

The outcome was a complete success. A total of 139 GB of files were recovered—far more than the card’s visible capacity, showing just how much data had been stored, deleted, and hidden in the background over time.

Thanks to WeRecoverData, all of the customer’s important files were restored safely. What began as a worrying mistake became a powerful reminder that even after a format, data recovery can bring back what matters most.
