I'm so so upset.

Basically for some fucking stupid reason I accidentally deleted the Samsung notes app from my phone and the notes weren't backed up. I had some really really important, irretrievable information on there. I don't even have a Samsung backup account because I've always used Google drive etc, so the Samsung notes didn't back up to Google.

Obviously I've downloaded the Samsung notes app again and there's nothing there.

Have these notes been deleted forever? Is there any way at all they can be recovered? Please help, I genuinely cannot stop crying.

Hi, if you have a computer, download a file recovery app such as Recuva (and install it on the computer). Now plug the phone into the PC via USB, and if a message pops up on the phone asking what you want to do, choose "transfer files" . Open Windows Explorer and see if you can see your phone listed as a "drive". When you can see it, run Recuva and tell it to scan the phone for deleted files. No guarantees but it might work.

Just the computer - I think. (Not sure if it works on the phone).
