Is there any paid tool out there that can be used to recover the deleted photos from Secure folder, and no I don't have a back up of it.

You may be able to retrieve the files by going into the Trash folder, selecting your file(s), and restoring them.

Hi Advik,

We're sorry to hear that your photos were accidentally deleted from the Secure Folder. We understand how important your data is.

Unfortunately, when files are deleted from the Secure Folder, they are permanently erased and do not move to the regular Gallery trash or device recycle bin. Unless a backup was created through Samsung Cloud, Google Photos, prior to deletion, recovery becomes significantly more difficult.

Due to the encrypted nature of Secure Folder, most third-party recovery tools especially ones that require root access will not be able to access or recover deleted content from this space. This is by design to protect user privacy and security.

If you had Samsung Cloud or Google Photos backup active outside of Secure Folder, you can try checking there.

Otherwise, we do not recommend paid data recovery tools, as they typically cannot access Secure Folder and may pose a security risk.

Thank you.
