photos did not download and I deleted them from memory card. how to recover?

[bethem]

Photos did not download to computer.  I deleted them from memory card.  Is there a way to retrieve them from memory card.

I'd first check the Recycle bin on your PC (I do not know Mac), they should be there.  If they are, just restore them.  If they are not there, you will need a special program to recover the files from the memory card.  There are paid services that will do this for you.

If all you did was delete them it should be relatively easy to recover them BUT don't use the card until you've done it. Even after a format it's fairly easy but not after re use because you write over them. For more help read the replies here.

You will need a card reader because I don't think it can be done in camera using the usb cable.
