okay bestie, gather round — this is photorec(8), straight outta the Administration Tools section, and she is THAT girl when your files ghost you. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

photorec — recover lost files from harddisk, digital camera and cdrom. no cap. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

photorec [/log] [/debug] [/d recup_dir] [device|image.dd|image.e01]

photorec /version

two whole moods: the big recovery one, and the tiny little /version one. pick ur fighter. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom, and lost pictures (Photo Recovery) from digital camera memory. she literally does not care about your filesystem — PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it'll work even if your media's filesystem is severely damaged or formatted. screaming, crying, throwing up, and she still finds your files. 😭✨

safety check, bestie: PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover lost data from. she's a look-don't-touch icon. 👑

and for more info on how to use her, please visit the wiki pages on www.cgsecurity.org. iykyk. 🌈
