Unfortunately, it's possible that the deleted photos are gone forever. However, I can guide you through a few steps to try and recover them. First, stop using your Canon PowerShot camera immediately. Next, check if the camera's memory card has a built-in recovery feature. If not, you can try using a third-party data recovery software specifically designed for camera memory cards. Be cautious when using such software, as it may not guarantee a successful recovery and could potentially overwrite the remaining data on the card. If you're not comfortable with the process, consider consulting a professional data recovery service.

Unfortunately, there's no "recently deleted" folder on a camera like there is on phones and tablets, making it easier to recover deleted photos and videos. However, you can still recover deleted photos from a Canon PowerShot camera, even if there's no option provided by the manufacturer.

How to Recover Deleted Canon PowerShot Photos

To recover a Canon camera's deleted photos, you'll need a dedicated recovery tool. You can search online for a suitable tool, such as Deep Data Recovery, to help you retrieve your lost photos. To ensure the tool's effectiveness, verify its reputation and reviews, and check if it supports Canon cameras. Once you've selected a reliable tool, follow its instructions to scan your camera's memory card and recover your deleted photos.

The Canon photo recovery process should be done on a computer, not on the camera itself, to avoid failure.
The tool supports Canon PowerShot and SD card/TF card in the device, which can be checked on the tool's official website.
The Canon PowerShot typically uses the CR2 or CRW file format, which is a raw image file. Most photo editing software supports the CR2 and CRW file formats, including Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and GIMP. If you're looking for a specific software to edit your Canon PowerShot photos, I'd be happy to help you find a suitable replacement.

If your Canon PowerShot photos are deleted or lost, you can try Deep Data Recovery to recover them. This software meets all the requirements and allows you to recover up to 200MB files for free, making it a great option if your deleted photos are less than 200MB in size. It can undelete and unformat photos from various storage devices, including hard disk, digital camera, SD/CF card, and USB drive, making it a reliable choice for photo recovery.

Step-by-step to photo recovery for Canon PowerShot

To recover Canon PowerShot photos with Deep Data Recovery, follow these steps. First, download and install the software on your computer. Then, connect your Canon PowerShot camera to the computer using a USB cable. Next, launch the software and select the camera drive as the location to scan. After scanning, select the type of files you want to recover (in this case, photos) and choose the recovery mode.

Step 1. Install the photo recovery software for Canon PowerShot

Download the free trial version of Deep Data Recovery, selecting the correct version for your computer's operating system, macOS or Windows, as there are separate versions for each. Follow the built-in installation guide to install the software, a process that is straightforward and similar to installing other software.

Step 2. Connect Canon PowerSHot with computer

To transfer photos from your Canon PowerShot to your computer, you can either use a digital cable to connect the camera directly to your computer, or remove the memory card from the camera and connect it to your computer via an e-card reader. The memory card approach is recommended, as it prevents potential data loss or overwriting on the card via the camera.

Step 3. Select Photos to Scan

Run the photo recovery software for Canon PowerShot. Only select "Pictures" to scan for deleted photos from the camera, then click "Next".

Step 4. Select PowerShot Camera to Scan

Select the partition or external hard drive where the deleted photos from the Canon PowerShot Camera are stored. Click "Scan" to let the software recover the deleted photos for you.

Step 5. Perform Canon PowerShot Photo Recovery

The scanning process on Canon PowerShot takes time, depending on the number of photos you have. The more photos, the longer it takes. You can use this time to do other tasks on your computer while the software scans. Once it's finished, you can preview the photos, select the ones you want, and click "Recover" to save them on your computer. It's a good idea to keep the recovered photos separate from your Canon PowerShot to avoid losing them again.

Tips: If the quick scan can't locate your lost photos from a Canon PowerShot camera, you can try the deep scan feature, which is usually found at the top of the software interface. This feature is likely to find your lost images from the camera.
