Hey guys, so while I was flying my Mavic on my most recent trip in Mexico, my app told me that my memory card was filled. So I deleted all of the files off of the Micro SD. The app still says the Memory is full but there are no visible files. My computer says that most of the 16GB is used up as well but cant find the files on the card. Usually i think you would just reformat the card to help with this problem but i wanted to know if there is any way to recover these files even though i can't see them? I want to double check that i'm not deleting any video files that i didnt mean to delete. The card says that its still full so im assuming the files must be there. I heard that there me be some programs to help with this. If you guys have any experience with this please share any info. Thanks

They are in the trash.  You have to empty the trash prior to ejecting the card or the files don't get deleted.  Formatting the card inside the Mavic is the best procedure.

Even with the card plugged back into the computer?

Mac install in there too. Easeus makes some good free backup software too.
