You guys probably don't remember me since I am mostly on the NSBR board now.

I had some old pics on my CF card that I apparently never moved to my computer. Then I went throughand deleted a bunch so I could make room to take DS' one year birthday pics. So I realized I never moved the old deleted pics over. Can I still retrieve them? Do I need to do some recovery program?

Sorry if there are any typos...on my phone.

You'll need a recovery program. If you used a brand name card try googling for the home company. Many cards these days have recovery programs dedicated to them.

The good news is that it's likely you can get them back-even 2 sessions back I have done that before, formatted over it twice and STILL retrieved most of the original images. Crazy. I have just a basic recovery program, but there are thankfully many out there to choose from. Good luck.

Most people have pretty good success with data recovery programs you run yourself. However, if the photos are critical or precious, I'd use a professional service. In the past I have used this company for working on a crashed RAID drive: Drive Savers

Good luck!
