Extended Reading: Why deleted files can be recovered from Android?
Why can we still restore Android files even after they were deleted? Actually, when you delete a file, it is not completely erased from your device's storage. Every time we save a new file on Android, it would create a directory as "pointers" to track the file on the storage. Deleting files only removes the "pointer" that marks the files, but the deleted data still exists on the physical drive and it can be recovered using Android Data Recovery tool!
