To recover deleted pictures on your PS4, you will need to follow a few steps. Please note that this process requires a previously created backup of your PS4 system. If you don’t have a backup, unfortunately, it may not be possible to recover your deleted pictures. Now, let’s get into the steps:
1. First, go to your PlayStation Home Menu by turning on your PS4 console.
2. Once you’re on the Home Menu, navigate to the “Settings” option. It is usually located at the top right corner of the screen.
3. Inside the Settings menu, scroll down and select “System”. It should be the second option from the top.
4. In the System menu, you will find the “Backup and Restore” option. Select it to proceed.
5. Now, you will need to connect the USB storage device that contains the backup of your PS4. Make sure the USB device is compatible with the PS4 and has enough storage capacity to hold the backup.
6. After connecting the USB storage device, select “Restore PS4” from the Backup and Restore menu.
7. Next, you will see a list of available backup files. Choose the backup file that contains the deleted pictures you want to recover. If you have multiple backup files, make sure to select the correct one.
8. Confirm your selection and proceed with the restoration process. This may take some time depending on the size of the backup file and the speed of your USB storage device.
9. Once the restoration is complete, your PS4 will restart, and you should find the deleted pictures restored to their original location.
It’s important to note that restoring your PS4 to a previous backup will revert your system to the state it was in when the backup was created. This means that any changes, updates, or additions made after the backup was taken will be lost. Therefore, it’s crucial to consider the potential consequences before proceeding with the restoration process.
Recovering deleted pictures on your PS4 requires a previously created backup. By following the steps outlined above, you can restore your PS4 to a previous backup and recover your deleted pictures.
