Help! I deleted a set of photos from the SD card by mistake. I thought I had transferred them to the hard drive but alas, that was not the case. What is the best and least expensive program for restoration? I had one many years ago but cannot find it and don't remember the name!
Thanks for any help.

I use CardRecovery, a product of WinRecovery. They have a free trial download. I paid about GB£25 for a lifetime download.

Thanks to all. I knew I could count on UHH and its worldwide wonderful members! I will check out all of the suggestions. I was able to find my photos but am quite sure some day I will not be so lucky.

The key to any successful recovery is to stop using the media, like the memory card, to recover it. In a sense, a computer makes an index page of the things you store and when you 'delete' something it removes it from the index. The item is still there, but the computer/camera pretends it cannot see it.
If you try to recover now you will most likely retrieve it, but if you continue to use it the computer/camera will write over that location as it thinks it is empty. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
