How to Recover Deleted Data on My OPPO Phone

Accidental deletion of files such as photos, videos, personal or work documents, or even applications stored on your device can happen to anyone and cause significant inconvenience and frustration. Most users assume it's already long gone, but that's not always the case, as some files can still be recovered. In this article, we will walk you through the process of recovering deleted data. 

Step to Retrieve Deleted Data

How to Recover Files or Documents

If your files or documents are deleted through the File Manager/ My Files app, you can recover them within 30 days by following these steps:

1. Go to [File Manager] / [My Files].

2. Tap [Recently Deleted].

3. Select the file you want to recover by long-pressing it.

4. Tap [Recover].

How to Retrieve Photos or Videos:

• Photos app: If your photos and videos are deleted through the Photos app, you can recover them within 30 days using the steps provided. Go to [Photos] app > [Albums] > [Recently Deleted] > select a file, then tap [Restore].

• Google Account Backup: If your phone is logged in with a Google account and the "backup" function is enabled, you can check if your Google Drive has a backup of your photos and videos. Go to [Settings] > [Google] > [Backup] > [Photos & videos].

• Other cloud services backup: If you have used other cloud services, it is recommended that you log in to the relevant service to confirm whether the photos/videos are backed up.

How to Restore Apps or App Data:

1. If you delete built-in apps, you can recover them through the Settings. Go to [Settings] > [Apps] > *[Recove System Apps]. 

2. If the app cannot be recovered in the settings given above, it is recommended that you download and install it from the Google Play Store.

3. If you want to recover app data, such as chat history from LINE, you need to check the settings within the app to see if there is a backup available.

Note: 

• *This is only applicable to ColorOS 7 and above.
  

• There is no option to back up and recover app data directly on the phone.

• Please also note that not all apps provide the function of backing up app data. It is recommended that you save the data you need before clearing data and uninstalling the apps.

Important Reminders:

1. To safeguard your information, the phone will only store data on its internal storage. It will not automatically back up any data unless you have activated cloud sync or another cloud service. It is advisable to recall if you have utilized such a service and attempt to recover the backup.

2. To ensure the safety of your important information, we recommend regularly back up all your important data. 

3. Currently, SMS does not feature a recently deleted option, making it nearly impossible to recover without a backup.

* Pictures, setting, and paths might differ from those of your phones, but these won't affect the description in this article.
