How AVI File Was Deleted/Corrupt
Generally file loss is due to logical or physical reasons. Logical errors include human mistaken deletion, format, software corruption, virus attack, etc, and physical errors include hardware damage, such as memory card getting burned, water damaged, etc.
Whatever reason it may be, as long as the card can be recognized by the computer, you can use iCare Data Recovery Pro to recover the lost files.
Note: physically damaged cards cannot be recognized.
We feel obliged to inform you of the inner mechanism of deletion. When you delete a file, the data is not erased immediately. The file system marks the space as free so new files can occupy the space and overwrite the data. Therefore, you should perform data recovery as soon as possible, because once the files are overwritten, you can not recover them. Don't create new files after you discovered the data loss.
