Despite the support for Windows 7 and easy features of photo recovery, it is many times seen that people complain about the reliability of photo recovery tools. Sometimes, people say that their photo recovery software does not perform complete recovery or fails to recover all the deleted or lost photos. Well, this happens when the user does not observe precaution meant for performing successful recovery. Users should stop using their device on which they encountered the photo loss. Using such devices even after the loss overwrites the deleted files. Since an overwritten file cannot be recovered even by the most efficient photo recovery tool, the user complains about the inefficiency of these recovery software.

However, you may think that how a photo, which is deleted completely, can be overwritten. Well, a deleted or formatted photo does not go anywhere; instead, it remains at its space, but the marker associated with it gets deleted when you delete it. Removal of marker makes this deleted photo inaccessible by the OS, and hence you cannot see it. In such case, when you save a new file to your system, you can easily overwrite the deleted image, and hence can lose it forever. Therefore, for successful recovery of your files, it is said to be very careful and stop using your affected device completely.
