Are the majority of the photos you have usually unrecoverable when you do this?
Possible to Restore Photos/Documents from Formatted USB Or Old Laptop?

Chances of recovery
For me they're mostly unrecoverable - in fact mostly undetectable but I regularly wipe free space using a secure wiping tool. If I haven't wiped then the files are usually recoverable. Sometimes in the case of USB drives - if the drive was yanked out rather than safely ejected then the data is corrupted and beyond recovery. If it was formatted and not overwritten there's usually a good chance of recovering most files.

Hey how would i know if i had wiped those files or not? Example those files that i had, i basically had them on my documents and all i did was click delete. Then i delete it in recycle bin. Does that mean wipe? Yea i saw some files overwritten but not sure what that meant as how do i know if i did overwrite it or not. Like how i know which files i overwrite and which i didn't.

It seems diskdigger is going to take very long time. I clicked so many times already and probably saw 60000 images but not the ones i was looking for and i practially am way too tired. Is the only way to see these pictures really 16 at a time when it shows 160000 total pictures?
I tested photorec. Is it basically the same or similar files to diskdigger? It seems it will take a very very long time. But is it simialr to the files on diskdigger? If so, dont think im going to bother with it anymore...

Photo Viewer
How did you end up with that many images on a USB? You say you formatted a USB and want to recover images from it then mention "My Documents" and deleting into recycle bin.
If you want to look at images in the TestDisk output folder use software like Irfanview which has a thumbnail viewer and can view multiple images (in a folder) in one go.

I used photorec and put the usb flash drive. Shows 0 files saved after deep scan.
That means i can't recover anything then right?

Like to mention theres way too many files to search as i didnt see any of the files i was looking for though i did see somes there that is in the documents folder but wasnt the one i wanted to format. I assume then its probably not there then?
