So, one thing should be noted here that after deletion do not overwrite the space. So, to accomplish the task of Linux undelete files, go through the below steps so as to recover fat formatted files.
- First of all, open the Linux package manager and make a search for PhotoRec. Select and install it.
- Now open terminal and execute this command over it: sudo photorec.
- Make use of arrow keys to go to the drive where the deleted file was stored and press Enter
- Then after, select the Intel/PC partition option and move to the location of deleted file partition and press Enter.
- Go to the search option and select ‘Other’ option from the list of formats to choose the format of the file. Options available are ‘ext2/ext3’ to undelete linux ext3 or other. Opt for the other category as FAT formats come under this one.
- The next step is to choose the ‘Free’ option and press enter key. Choosing this option will recover only the deleted files from the partition. In case of drive corruption, it is better to go for the ‘Whole’ option as this will recover all the files from the partition.
