Recover Deleted Tesla Dashcam Footage
If you accidentally delete a clip, stop using the drive immediately.
If you accidentally delete a clip, stop using the drive immediately. Recovery tools like Recuva (Windows) or Disk Drill (Mac) can sometimes restore recently deleted files. Once the drive has been overwritten by new dashcam footage, recovery is not possible. If the clip is truly important, pull the drive, make a full disk image, and attempt recovery from the copy.
