How to Recover Deleted Images on Discord (Windows)

Discord is such a popular social instant chat app. You can have a good time here with your friends, join clubs, groups, the arts community or something like that. Here, you can keep entertaining from time to time. You can sign in to your Discord account and enjoy it on almost all your devices, like iOS/Android phones, Mac, and Windows PC.

In the excitement of the moment, you may mistakenly delete some of your images from your Discord account and later regret it. They can be recent or historical. Your images are still there, even if you can't see them. They just do not appear in the Discord server any longer.

That’s why you come to this guide to find out how to recover deleted images on Discord. We'll show you two proven methods in the following. 

Recover deleted images on Discord using software (3 Steps)

AOMEI FastRecovery works well with Windows 7/8/10/11 and Windows Server. You can download it to your computer and get started now. 

P.S. Don't save it to the location where you deleted the Discord images, as it may cause data overwriting. Meanwhile, stop using this drive, don't add or write new data, or restart your computer after data loss, especially if those saved in the C: drive. The system partition is writing data at all times.

Step 1. Select the drive to scan

Open AOMEI FastRecovery on your computer. Hover the mouse over the partition that is used to save Discord images, usually in the C or D drive, and click Scan to begin.

Step 2. Scan and find deleted Discord images 

Wait for the software to scan all deleted and lost files for the best results. The default mode is Quick Scan, which is very fast, about 3- 5s. So you don't need to wait for a long time. 

During the process, you can search the file and folder name or extension (e.g., jpg, png, bmp, jpeg, etc.) in the search box or use the Filter feature to specify the "Image" data type and size, such as <128KB, 128KB~1MB, etc.

You can also expand the sidebar to find deleted images that will be categorized in their original location. This is not recommended unless you know the original location.

Step 3. Recover deleted images on Discord

Once found, double-click the file or click the Preview button to check out clear thumbnails. Choose the images you want to recover and click the Recover button. Please select a new location to save the recovered images to prevent data overwriting. 

Try it if you lose images on Discord! With it, you can recover deleted files in Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, and servers. More surprisingly, its free edition can recover data of over 500 MB.

Recover deleted images on Discord using CMD (Manually)

In addition to the powerful data recovery software, another method is kind of time-consuming but useful. You can first locate the cache files in the Discord folder and make use of the command prompt to recover every single image removed from the Discord platform. 

⭐Part 1. Find deleted images on Discord

Step 1. Press the Win + R keys to open the Run dialogue box > Type %appdata% > Click OK.

Step 2. In the prompt window, locate and right-click the discord folder to open it > Find and open the Cache folder.

Alternatively, you can directly navigate to the cache folder: %AppData%/discord/Cache/Cache_Data. Here you can find all deleted files inside the Discord server, but you can't manually change them to bring them back to normal since the file type hasn’t been changed. Try CMD in Part 2.

⭐Part 2. Recover deleted images using CMD 

Step 1. Open the Command Prompt from the Search bar > Copy the location of the Cache folder inside Discord.

Step 2. Type in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\discord\Cache to the Command Prompt. Please remember to replace the username with your PC’s name. Press Enter to continue.

Step 3. Convert all cache files into PNG using the ren* *.png command.

Back to the Cache folder, and you will see all the images have successfully recovered. You can also choose to copy and paste them to your desired folder.
