I accidentally deleted all the pictures files from DCIM file folder on the computer (Imac) using "move to trash" option instead deleted them using camera (nikon D40x) menu. Now, even there is no images on my camera I am getting "card is full message" and cannot use camera at all. I did not deleted NIKON001.DSC file just the picture files.

It is often possible to recover deleted files, including pictures, from a computer or camera. However, the success of the recovery process depends on a number of factors, including how the files were deleted and whether they have been overwritten by new data.
To recover the deleted pictures from your computer, you can try using a file recovery software program. There are many options available, both free and paid, that can scan your hard drive for deleted files and attempt to recover them. Some popular options include Recuva, Disk Drill, and PhotoRec.
To recover the deleted pictures from your camera, you can try using a digital image recovery software program. These programs are designed specifically to recover deleted images from digital cameras, memory cards, and other storage devices. Some popular options include CardRecovery and Digital Photo Recovery.
It is important to note that recovery software may not be able to recover all deleted files, and the chances of successful recovery decrease as more data is written to the storage device. If you are unable to recover the deleted pictures using software, you may need to consult a data recovery professional for assistance. They will have the tools and expertise to attempt a more thorough recovery of the lost data.

On your iMac, you can remove a software by doing the following steps:

Clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock or entering "Finder" into the search bar will both launch Finder.

Click on the "Applications" folder in the left sidebar of the Finder window.

Locate and click once to select the software you wish to delete.

To the Trash icon on the Dock, drag the program's icon.
As an alternative, you can use the drop-down menu that appears when you right-click on the program's icon and choose "Move to Trash".

Enter your administrator password if requested to confirm that you wish to delete the software.

By performing a right-click on the trash icon in the Dock and choosing "Empty Trash" from the drop-down menu, you can empty the trash.

Note: It's possible for some programs to have extra files that are not eliminated when you move the program to the Trash.
You can manually look for and delete the files in the Library directories or use a third-party uninstaller application to get rid of these files.

You may try this iOS file manager, it can manage your iPad file easily. You can delete iPad photos, videos and songs with it.

Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

If all your images are backed up on your computer, just format the media card IN THE CAMERA, and that should re-set everything for you when next you take a photo.

Connect you camera to the computer using the USB cable. It will be shown as a removable drive(If the autorun is enabled windows should list the option to transfer pictures.Choose this option if it does so). Open the drive and and transfer the pictures to your computer.

Hope this helps,

Use software like PhotoRescue. Unless the photos were erased and then written over, they're probably still there. I used un-delete recovery software and it found my photos even after I had formatted the card and used it again to take more photos.

I know it's a late reply but other people may want to know you can find and recover deleted photos.

I had the same exact problem... then someone told me the fix... you have to "empty trash" on your computer (when the camcorder is plugged into your USB) - this will "empty" the trash on your computer, but also empty on your flip too...

I guess what happens when you delete all files from the "100 Video" file is that your camcorder moves all files into its own "trash" (on the device) - so the camera "shows" that there are no videos, but in reality, they are still on the flash memory on the device..

hope this makes sense and works for you.

Sounds like a MobileMate quirk Tanya. Use your USB cable connection to your PC/Camera interface and delete pics that way too see if this funny goes away.

If it does, and I believe it will, then it is a SanDisk issue not revising the File Allocation Table(FAT) after deleting the Pic File on the mem card.

You could also find out if this is just an SDHC SD card reader issue by using an older less dense standard 1 or 2Meg non-SDHC mem card in the reader and see if issue goes away.

The fallback of course to view and delete the pics on the camera before download, or download pics then note which pic file numbers you want deleted after viewing on PC, then put SD card back in camera and delete them there.

Another option for trial, is to cut and paste the whole DCIM folder, or sub pic folder to your PC from off the SD card using the card reader. The camera automatically generates subfolders under the DCIM folder if you completely remove(deleting by a cut or move), when you take your first picture on a camera with a DCIM but not sub pic folder. Try this first and I think you will find all pics will be deleted from camera that are in a subfolder under DCIM. If not, then cut or move the whole DCIM folder and create a new DCIM(empty) folder on the SD card using the PC and card reader. Of course using this method you cannot selective delete individual pics from the mem card. You would be deleting them all after the Folder cut or move from the SD card.

Go to Desktop/MyComputer/Pana(or it may say USB Drive, or DCIM, and click on this external drive Icon.
You are now looking at the camera contents as if it were just another file folder on your PC, and behaves the same way.

You will find your pics in a sub-folder under a master folder, common for all camera file structures, named DCIM. You can drag and drop individual pic (jpg) files or whole pic subfolders from the camera to a place on your PC, usuallly Documents/Pictures.

You can do all other folder/file operations on this Camera Folder/Pic files you can do with those that exist on the PC like;cut, past, delete, rename, etc etc.

When you take you next first pic from your camera, after moving or deleting a pic subfoler under the Camera's DCIM master folder, the camera automatically creates another subfolder. Each subfolder holds 999 pics. The camera will atuomatically create a second, third, etc subfolder for pics 1000 to 1999, 2000 to...etc.
