Sorry but no. Once a memory stick is erased, the information is gone. It doesn't use the same type of storage that a hard drive uses.

How to recover deleted pictures from memory stick

There is some free (for home use) software called "Recuva" that you can use to do this. It will look for any files that can be recovered. Provided the card has not been used since the files were deleted the files should be recoverable.

You can find the software here:
http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Or you can search yourself for "recuva" in Google. It will be the first unsponsored link in the list of results.

You need to insert the card into the computer that has recuva on it and then select the correct drive letter in the software and then scan for deleted files.

Good luck.

How to delete pictures on my memory stick pro duo

If you computer has a slot for it, plug it in and use windows to erase what you want. Otherwise try using a camera or another device that accepts sony memory cards.

Can i still retrieve deleted pictures from my memory card the problem is i took another photos big mistake i did.is there any options still to retrieve?

Your memory card has a certain amount of space dedicated to storage and you can continuously take pictures for storage. Once that space is used up, new pictures will overwrite anything that is old on the card. Probability of recovering anything deleted highly unlikely.

I bought this digital camera because I had planned to go to a big convention. I had only had it a few days and was not familiar with it so I was unaware than turning off the camera deleted all the photos....

Yes but you will need professional help and they don't come cheap. As long as you don't take any pictures that will replace the memory spots on the card you can retrieve them. A digital camera stores the pictures you take as separate files on a flash memory card (also known as "digital film"). There are many different types of memory cards such as SD, CF, xD Picture Card, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, the MMC Card and more. In addition, each card type has different brands like SanDisk, Kingston and more. They have different sizes, capacities and appearances, but they are just the same when acting as storage to hold pictures - they are similar to your old floppy disk or hard drive. When you delete one or more pictures from your camera, your camera locates the picture files on the memory card, then "deletes" them and marks the leftover space as usable. In most cases, for fast processing, the camera doesn't delete the picture file body but leaves them as is, which makes it possible for us to retrieve them after deletion.

Just type in recover photos from a deleted memory card in the google browser and many different people have sites that sell this software for a fee. I personally used one for my computer and it retieved all lost pictures, I was amazed and most happy. Good Luck.

Is there anyway I can retrieve pictures that were accidently erased?

It may be possible to recover deleted pictures from your Sony Memory Stick by using the Memory Card File Rescueapplication. This software is available as a free download online in the Software & Drivers section.


If the Memory Stick File Rescue application is unable to recover the image files, then the Memory Stick media may need to be sent to a professional data recovery service company, like Sony Media Services or DriveSavers Data Recovery. For more information and pricing, visit the Sony Media Services Web site at http://www.sonymediaservices.com/, or the DriveSavers Data Recovery Web site at http://www.drivesavers.com.

My son deleted all of our pictures from the memory stick.

Important first step. Do not take any more photos on the stick - they may over-write the files. The files are still there and there is free software to retrieve them which is said to be quite effective. Type 'retrieve deleted files' into Google and you will find some software options you can try. There are also some programs you have to pay for. If you are worried about making things worse, take some photos on another stick, delete them and try out some of the software to see which you think works best.

Memory card formatted in error

Once the memory card is formatted, the files saved or pictures will be deleted and there is no way to retrieve the images.

I would advise that you transfer the pictures first to your PC before formatting the memory card.
