Hello, Just looking for some guidance or if anyone knows how to recover deleted braw files from a cfexpress tybe b card. I was recording on a CC6K and deleted the footage accidentally and I just tried using diskdrill pro which found 170 items and around 160 gibs of data but when I go and see the files, they are all in a lostchain_312929.bin file and I tried changing the extension to braw, but that opens up the player but it is all black. I never formatted the cfexpress card after. I will attach a picture of what I am looking at. Thanks

Make an image of the card with TestDisk and then run testdisk on the image.

Okay! I will look into this and give it a shot! Thanks.

Your best chance is this payed service:

Before you try more paid options I would download HxD and load the files found. If they're full of 0000 then you're wasting your money and time sending the drives in. Especially if its an SSD/NVME.

There is no wasting money or time, aeroquartet will provide a tool to estimate if a recovery will be possible and only then they will charge if the client wants to proceed.

Just read the link I have provided. We had several users here on this forum over the years using their service successfully.

Recovery is possible only if the files are not zeroed. Hopefully that tool can tell you.
