While cleaning up space, users may accidentally delete videos from their phones. In this article, we will discuss how to recover permanently deleted videos from Samsung. We will discuss different methods to recover permanently deleted videos Samsung.
There are different ways in which we can recover permanently deleted videos from Samsung. We will divide them into two sections in which we will discuss the recovery of permanently deleted videos.

Section 1. Recover Permanently Deleted Videos Samsung Without Backup

Method 1: From Samsung Recycle Bin
If you don’t have a backup of your videos, you can recover them from Recycle Bin or Trash folder. Samsung phones have this feature of Recycle Bin, and all the deleted videos or photos go there. So, if you want to recover them, you can.
Step 1: Go to the gallery and tap on three dots. In some Samsung phones, you will see an option of Trash, while in some phones, you need to go to “Settings > Recycle Bin”.

Method 2: From Recently Deleted Folder
New Samsung phones with the latest Android version have this feature of recently deleted files. Whenever you permanently delete a video, it goes to that folder. The video stays in a recently deleted folder for about 30 days. So, it is a two-step deletion process, and then you will get rid of the video. The user can recover this data while it is available in the recently deleted folder.
Step 1: Open the gallery and tap on the three-dot menu. Select “Trash” to enter the recently deleted folder.
