Lost Photos
I made a mistake and need some advice. I connected my camera’s SD card to my computer, and it showed an error saying the drive needed to be formatted. I meant to cancel, but accidentally clicked “Yes,” and now all the photos are gone. Only a few were backed up to OneDrive — the rest are lost.
Is it still possible to recover those deleted photos using a Windows 10 PC? They’re not in the Recycle Bin, and I’m not sure if Windows has any recovery tools for this kind of situation. Any help would be really appreciated.

When you format an SD card, especially in Windows, it usually just does a “quick format.” That means it doesn’t actually delete the files, it just wipes the file table. So the photos are likely still there — you just can’t see them until you use a photo recovery software.
