I thought that didn't apply to Unix-based operating systems. Doesn't the iPhone use some form of a modified Ext filesystem? With FAT and NTFS, the MFT will still contain the indexes for the data associated with the deleted files, while Ext works quite differently, and therefore fully deleted files are unrecoverable by normal measures. You'd have to low-level recover it from the magnetic storage device (e.g. an ATA/SATA 3.5"/2.5" HDD), but it wouldn't work on an SSD drive.gladys250 wrote:When files are "deleted" they are not actually removed from your iPhone, until something else overwrites them. So by saving anything else to them you may have overwritten them. There is a decent chance that you can restore them though. I've successfully used undeleted plus before to restore messages that were accidentally deleted on my iPhone. You can have a try of the iPhone SMS Recovery software, and you can go through the tutorial of it if you'd like.Code: Select all

At least that's the impression I've always gotten.
