How many times have you accidentally deleted any file or folder on your Android smartphone? It also doesn’t have any recycle bin for you to grab deleted files; once it is removed, it’s gone forever. On computers, we have lots of software to recover the deleted data but on Android?

Now we have a solution for these type of accidents, and that is Undeleter. This is an app to recover data from your Android smartphone. Undeleter comes with a simple and minimal user interface which lets you recover your data using an easy wizard.

These apps need root permission to recover deleted files. So if your phone is not rooted, then the app won’t work on your phone. Rooting your phone is risky, it might brick your device or void the warranty, so root your phone at your own risk and with proper instructions.

Undeleter not only recovers your deleted data files but also recovers call logs, SMS messages, WhatsApp and Viber chats. The Undeleter can only let you recover your image files but for recovering videos or other files of this format, you need to unlock the feature for Rs. 270, which will also remove the full-screen advertisements while recovering the files.
