Did you find your old deleted photos reappear on your iPhone? Well, that’s the chilling reality facing some users after updating to iOS 17.5. While this could be ndexing glitch, photo library corruption, or a syncing problem between your iPhone and iCloud Photos, it raises a privacy concern. And if you really want to have peace of mind while deleting sensitive files, you need to know about Dr.Fone Data Eraser.
Let’s First Introduce You to Wondershare Dr.Fone
The unexpected reappearance of deleted photos on iPhone highlights a crucial point: permanent data deletion isn’t always guaranteed, especially with software bugs lurking in the shadows. This is where a reliable data management solution like Wondershare Dr.Fone steps in.

That said, Wondershare Dr.Fone goes beyond just being a data management solution. Here’s what truly sets it apart:

How to Properly Erase Sensitive Data on iPhone with Wondershare Dr.Fone Data Eraser
The reappearance of deleted photos on iPhone is a stark reminder that simply hitting “delete” doesn’t always guarantee permanent removal. Software glitches like the one plaguing iOS 17.5 can expose sensitive data you thought was long gone.
But with Dr.Fone’s Data Eraser, you don’t need to worry about the reappearance of deleted data. Let’s walk you through the process of properly deleting sensitive data with this tool:
Install Wondershare Dr.Fone Data Eraser and Connect your iPhone
Head over to Wondershare’s official website and download the latest version of Dr.Fone – Data Eraser (iOS). After opening the tool, connect your iPhone with a USB cable. The software will automatically detect your phone. From the main interface, select “Data Eraser” to proceed.
Select Erase Private Data
On the left-hand panel of the Dr.Fone Data Eraser interface, you’ll see a list of available options. Choose “Erase Private Data” to specifically target the data types you want to permanently remove.
Choose the Data You Want to Delete Permanently
Dr.Fone presents a comprehensive list of data categories categorized as “private data.” This includes contacts, messages, call history, photos (including potentially those resurrected photos!), notes, calendars, and more.
Here’s the beauty: You have granular control. Select all the data types you want to erase permanently, or simply check the box next to “Photos” if that’s your primary concern.
Preview and Confirm the Data Erasure
Once you’ve selected the data for erasure, click “Start” in the bottom right corner. Dr.Fone will analyze your device and prepare a list of data slated for deletion.
This step offers an optional preview. If you’d like to double-check what’s about to be erased, use the drop-down menu at the top and choose either “Select all” or “Only Show the deleted” to filter the preview list.
With everything selected and previewed (if desired), click “Erase” in the bottom right corner. Dr.Fone takes security seriously. To confirm the deletion, you’ll need to enter a confirmation code and choose a “Security Level.”
Here, Dr.Fone offers a balance between speed and data recovery difficulty. Higher security levels take longer but make data recovery nearly impossible.
How To Recover Deleted Data from Wondershare Dr.Fone
Accidentally deleted data that you didn’t mean to erase? While Dr.Fone excels at permanent data erasure, it’s important to remember it’s a two-way street. Just as effectively, Dr.Fone can help you recover accidentally deleted data on your iPhone, providing a valuable safety net. These are the steps you need to follow:
Launch and Connect
Fire up Dr.Fone on your computer and connect your iPhone using a USB cable. The software should automatically detect your device.
Choose Your Recovery Path
Unlike the data erasure function, you’ll likely see multiple recovery options. Dr.Fone can recover data from various sources like internal storage, iTunes backups, or iCloud backups. Choose the option that best suits your situation.
Let Dr.Fone Scan for Deleted Data
Once you’ve selected your recovery path, Dr.Fone will meticulously scan your iPhone or chosen backup source for recoverable data. This process can take some time, depending on the amount of data stored.
Preview the Scanned Files and Select
After the scan is complete, Dr.Fone presents a detailed list of recoverable data types like photos, contacts, messages, and more. You can preview specific files before selecting the ones you want to retrieve.
Disable Find My Service
In some instances, Dr.Fone might prompt you to disable “Find My Service” on your iPhone before it can restore the recovered data directly to your device. This is a security measure to ensure authorized access during the restoration process. Follow the on-screen instructions provided by Dr.Fone to disable “Find My Service” temporarily on your iPhone. Once disabled, confirm on your computer to proceed.
Finish the Restoration
With your desired data chosen, initiate the recovery process with a simple click. Dr.Fone will restore the selected data back to your iPhone or a designated location on your computer.
