Why Files get Deleted/Corrupted after Transferring to SD Card

It is not uncommon for files to be transferred from SD card to system and vice-versa. During transfer, there could be an interruption in the process and files could get corrupted. These files are now inaccessible. It is frustrating to discover some of your pictures being damaged and you are left wondering how to get them back.

Remo Recover is an excellent data recovery software to restore all the lost or deleted files from your device. Before we go into the data recovery procedure followed by Remo Recover, let us check out few solutions to overcome this issue.

1. Insert your SD card again

If it is a minor issue, try to re-insert your SD card.

Go to Settings -> Storage -> SD card -> Unmount SD card.

Turn off your device and then take out your SD card.

Re-insert your card and switch the device back on.

2. Insert your SD card in another device

Some devices are incompatible to certain SD cards. If the above solution didn’t work, insert your SD card in a different device.

3. Use CHKDSK command

Plugin your SD card to the computer using card reader.

Click on Start menu. Type cmd in search bar and hit Enter.

In the search results, right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as administrator option.

In the Command Prompt window that opens up, type chkdsk h: /f and hit Enter. You can replace h with the drive letter of your SD card.

4. Remove Nomedia files

You need the help of ES file explorer to unearth these files.

Certain apps on your SD card can also cause SD card corruption. Just uninstall the app, clear all its data and re-insert to check if it is working fine.

6. Restore factory settings

A factory reset will reset all the settings on your phone back to manufacturer default settings. Note that a factory reset will delete all the data stored on the device. It is therefore important to take a backup of all the data on your system, before going for factory reset.

Go to Settings -> Backup & Reset.
