What is File Miner?
Ever panic-deleted a photo or document and realized it seconds too late? File Miner is a data recovery tool that scans your device storage to pull back deleted files before the system overwrites them for good.
The scan digs through hidden folders, cache directories, and temp storage where deleted files briefly linger. You pick what to restore from a list of recoverable documents, images, videos, and audio files, then export them to a folder you can access. A built-in vault keeps files you mark as important out of accidental deletion range.
Key Features:
- The deep scan reaches hidden, cache, and temp folders where deleted files sit before permanent removal
- Smart recognition sorts recoverable files by type so you can filter for photos, videos, documents, or audio
- Preview lets you confirm what a file is before committing storage to the restore
- The vault holds files you flag, isolating them from batch deletions or cleanup sweeps
- Export sends recovered files to external public directories for backup or transfer
File types and storage reach
The scan identifies common formats across documents, images, video, and audio without needing you to specify file extensions. Once restored, files land in a directory the system recognizes, so other apps can open them. The vault is local storage under the app's control, meaning vaulted files stay put until you move them out.
Other data recovery apps
DiskDigger focuses on images and videos from internal or SD card storage. EaseUS MobiSaver ties recovery to a desktop interface and pulls from cloud backups alongside the device. File Miner runs entirely on-device, scans broader file types, and adds the vault for pre-emptive protection rather than post-deletion rescue alone.
This fits users who routinely clear storage or work with files they might delete by mistake. The scan only finds what hasn't been overwritten yet, and the app contains ads as the tradeoff for free access.
