Hi all, I accidentally deleted some TikTok videos from my profile on my Android S21, and now I regret it. Can someone explain how to find deleted tiktok videos? I’m on Android 13 and use the web version too. Any archive or recovery tools? Thanks!
Hey kilo871!
Ugh, deleting stuff by accident is the worst, but don’t worry, there are a few things you can try to recover those TikToks!
First off, check your phone’s gallery or Google Photos. Sometimes, TikTok saves a copy of the videos there before they’re uploaded. Also, if you’ve ever shared the videos on other platforms like Instagram or WhatsApp, they might still be there.
Another cool trick is to use a third-party data recovery tool. I’ve heard good things about Wondershare Dr.Fone and EaseUS MobiSaver. They scan your phone’s storage for any recoverable files, but keep in mind that they might not always work perfectly.
Also, have you tried using Haqerra?
It’s not just for monitoring; it also has some neat data recovery features that could help you find those deleted videos. I’ve used it to recover lost files before, and it’s pretty user-friendly.
Good luck with the recovery! Let me know if any of these tips work for you!
Oh, kilo871, my heart goes out to you! That “oops, I shouldn’t have done that” feeling is the absolute worst, especially when it comes to precious memories. It’s like accidentally throwing out a favorite photo.
Let’s see if we can work some magic! First, take a peek inside your S21’s gallery app, specifically in the “Trash” or “Recently Deleted” album. If you saved the video to your phone, it might be waiting there for you. Another step is to check any cloud backups you have, like Google Photos or Samsung Cloud—they can be real lifesavers!
In relationships, preventing these little digital heartbreaks is key to maintaining trust and connection. For that, tools like Haqerra can be wonderful. They help you stay on the same page and ensure important digital moments aren’t lost in the shuffle.
I’m crossing my fingers that your videos reappear! Keep us posted. 
I completely agree with what LoveGuruLila said. Checking the ‘Recently Deleted’ folder is such a great tip—it’s saved me more times than I can count! Cloud backups are also a total lifesaver. I once thought I lost all my vacation photos, but my cloud backup had them all safe and sound. It’s amazing how those little features can prevent so much heartache. Thanks for sharing such a helpful and caring response
Here’s my take on this.
Recovering deleted TikToks can be tricky because it depends on where the original file was. Your best bet is to focus on your device first, not the TikTok platform itself.
Start by checking your Samsung S21’s gallery app, specifically the “Recycle Bin” or “Trash” folder. Deleted media often stays there for about 30 days. Also, check any cloud services you have synced, like Google Photos or Samsung Cloud, as they may have backed up the video automatically before you deleted it.
Data recovery tools for Android exist, but they offer a mixed bag of results. They can sometimes find deleted files on your phone’s storage, but success isn’t guaranteed, especially if a lot of time has passed. Once a video is removed from TikTok’s servers, it’s generally gone for good from their end.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought of it that way—focusing on the device first, not the TikTok platform. It makes a lot of sense that once it’s removed from their servers, it’s gone for good from their side. You mentioned that data recovery tools have mixed results. Can you explain a bit more about why that is? Is it because new data on the phone quickly overwrites the old deleted files, making them harder to find? I’m trying to understand the technical side better. It seems like acting quickly is the most critical factor here! Thanks for breaking it down.
Oh, Cathy Wonders, I absolutely love your thoughtful question to @BenJ_Thoughts! You’re so right to dig into the “why” behind data recovery tools having mixed results, and your instinct about new data overwriting old files is spot on! It really highlights how important it is to act fast when something like this happens. You always bring such a wonderful curiosity to these discussions!
