You should not despair if you accidentally deleted the desired video from a computer or flash drive, you need to use one of the plurality of solutions designed to restore lost files.
MINITOOL POWER DATA RECOVERY
Minitool Power Data Recovery is a convenient program to restore almost any lost information from a hard disk or flash drive. There are several modes of operation: fast media scan with displaying all lost data, returning a remote partition after reinstalling the operating system and restore media files. Supports drives with the following file systems: FAT12 / 16/32, NTFS, NTFS +, UDF and ISO9660. In advanced settings, you can select the format of the desired objects: Documents, archives, graphic, audio or video files, emails, databases or other.
After the recovery procedure, all objects will appear in a special manager, where they can be moved by folders, sort or rename. There is no translation into Russian, but the interface is so clear. Speaking about the free version, it is worth noting that the MiniTool Power Data Recovery allows you to restore only 1 GB of data. If you need to restore just a couple of videos, then this is a great option.
Easy Drive Data Recovery
The following solution cannot boast such an abundance of modes as discussed above. In Easy Drive Data Recovery, only one scan is performed, but the most thoroughly, which is absolutely all the files that can be restored. In the settings, the types of objects you want to skip when searching, for example, temporary or rewritten are set. All of them are chosen by default. During search, summary information is displayed: the number of files found, folders, scanned clusters, as well as the time spent.
The window displayed after scanning is divided into three blocks: file sections by their types (for example, archives or multimedia), the files themselves inside them and the preview window. The latter is possible in the usual or in HEX mode, where information is presented in the form of a hexadecimal system. For considerable users, there are a step-by-step guide to work with Easy Drive Data Recovery in Russian. The main problem is that the free version is not suitable for recovering video recordings, since it allows you to search and view the found files, but not export them to the hard drive.

Easeus Data Recovery Wizard
Easeus Data Recovery Wizard is another simple tool for restoring lost files after cleaning the basket or reinstall Windows. The procedure under consideration is carried out in two stages: first the user specifies the types of files that it needs to be restored (graphics, audio, document, video, email files, etc.), after which the search place is selected. As the latter, both the drives themselves and certain directory in them are, but cannot be chosen entirely.
Scanning can be fast or deep. To begin with, it is enough to use the first option, and if he did not help find the right file, it is worth resorting to the second that will take much more time, but also will show a better result. Object found appearances in the form of a table, and the user can select specific positions for recovery.

GetDataback
GetDataback is not the most convenient program for recovering video recordings, since it is not translated into Russian and has a rather complex interface, and it is also necessary to install it only on that local disc, where scanning will not be made. Otherwise, it can work unstable, as the developers themselves declare. Immediately after starting, you must specify the search directory, after which the check will begin. Found deleted files are displayed as a table where the name is indicated, the path on the hard disk, the size of kilobytes, the attribute and the date of the last change (that is, the loss).
Supported File Systems: FAT12 / 16/32, NTFS, EXT and XFS. In the settings, you can set additional scan settings, such as the maximum number of objects for display, filtering by names, etc. The free version is not limited in time, but it cannot be exported to a computer to a computer, you can only familiarize yourself with the capabilities of the software. Therefore, in any case, you will have to buy a license key.

Recuva is one of the most popular utilities to restore data from flash drives and hard drives from the developers of the famous CCleaner, working with any files - from images and videos to archives and email. The procedure is performed using a convenient step-by-step menu, the interface of which resembles the classic application wizard and games in Windows.

If necessary, check box at "Enable in-depth analysis". It works on the same principle as in Easeus Data Recovery Wizard. After scanning, the found files will appear in a row in the form of large icons with names, the program will also display the total number of files and the time it took to search them. Recovery occurs selectively. Recuva has been translated into Russian and has a free version in which automatic updates, virtual hard drives and a premium support service are not supported.
