Can i retrieve photos i deleted off my drive about 16 months ago

Solution
Probably not. At least not unless there was nothing else ever added to the phone after that.

Once you delete something from the phones "Internal" storage (or even the SD card/a.k.a. "External" storage) then any new files, apps, etc., that you install/save/add will overwrite the space that was formerly occupied by the deleted files.

Now, if you didn't ever add anything to the phone after that. Say you just stopped using the phone and put it aside this whole time, then 'maybe' you could get them back. While there is no guaranty that you can get them back. Deleted does mean deleted. There are a few apps/programs out there that 'may' be able to help you recover the data.

A few of the programs you could try would be... DiskDigger...

A few of the programs you could try would be... DiskDigger, MobiSaver, Android-Recovery and Tenorshare. They are all data recovery apps/programs. There are many others out there, so check around and see which you would rather try. There is also one called RECUVA, that I have heard is free, which you could try.

One important note though, most of these programs are not free. They may say they are "free" or have "Free Trials" and "Free Downloads". Yet to actually recover your data, and get your files back, you may be have to purchase the program/app. Just so you know.

NOTE: For future reference, I really would suggest backing up your data to a computer or cloud. Often. Better to spend the time doing that, rather than to be out all that stuff if the phone dies, things get deleted/erased or it gets stolen.
