Yes, data can be recovered from a formatted pen drive using both manual and software-based methods. The manual method involves using the Command Prompt (CMD). You can try the chkdsk command by typing chkdsk /f X: (replace X with your pen drive letter) to check for errors. However, this method doesn’t guarantee full recovery, especially for deleted files.
For a more efficient solution, a tool like the BLR Pen Drive Data Recovery Tool is recommended. It scans the formatted pen drive thoroughly, recovering lost data such as documents, photos, and videos with ease, making the process quicker and more reliable than manual methods.
