So, if we are able to take some of the right steps and tools, it is possible to recover the formatted data.
We need to have some preparation before we start the recovery. First, make sure that the memory card is no longer in use and avoid writing new data so as not to overwrite the original data. Secondly, prepare a computer and download some professional memory card data recovery software. There are usually free and paid versions of these software, and it is recommended to choose the most credible and comprehensive software possible.
