How to Use BYclouder Memory Card Data Recovery — Step-by-Step
What you’ll need
- A computer (Windows recommended)
- The memory card and its reader or an adapter
- BYclouder Data Recovery installed (trial or licensed)
- A different drive with enough free space to save recovered files
1. Stop using the memory card
Immediately remove the card from the camera/phone or stop writing to it. Continued use can overwrite recoverable files.
2. Install BYclouder
- Download BYclouder Data Recovery from the official source or a reputable distributor.
- Run the installer and follow prompts.
- Do not install the software onto the same memory card or the drive you’ll be scanning.
3. Connect the memory card
- Insert the card into a card reader and connect it to your computer.
- Confirm the card appears as a removable drive letter in File Explorer.
4. Launch BYclouder and choose the recovery mode
- Open BYclouder Data Recovery.
- Select the recovery scenario that best matches your case (for memory cards choose options like “Recover Deleted Files,” “Recover from Removable Device,” or “Formatted Recovery”).
5. Select the target device
- In the device list, pick the removable drive that corresponds to your memory card.
- Verify the drive letter and size before proceeding.
6. Run a scan
- Choose a scan type:
- Quick/Smart Scan — faster; finds recently deleted files and simple recoveries.
- Deep/Full Scan — slower; searches file signatures and recovers files after formatting or severe corruption (recommended if quick scan fails).
- Start the scan and wait. Deep scans can take from minutes to hours depending on card size.
7. Preview scan results
- When the scan completes (or as results appear), browse recovered files by folder, file type, or using the search field.
- Use the built-in preview to check photos, videos, and documents before recovery to confirm file integrity.
