No matter you are using the newest LG G3 or the classic model, there will always exist a usage problem. What if you mistakenly deleted some important contacts, photos or videos from your phone and you want it back? What if you accidentally formatted your memory card and all the files are gone? Don't worry about you never getting your files back, because there is something we can do to recover the lost data from your LG phone with Android Data Recovery.

Why Recovering Files from LG Phone is Possible?

The LG phone uses SD card, miniSD card and such to store users' data. When you deleted the data stored on the memory card, the space of the deleted data won't be immediately filled, and it will be unreadable and thus used to store new files. As long as the space was not overwritten, there is still hope you could recover the data from your card.

So, the first thing you should do when you find yourself deleted some files that you wish to keep is stop using your phone to avoid space overwritten.

Then, follow the guide below to recover lost data from LG phone.
