I replaced batteries in my ICD-8300 Sony recorder, recover files?

Your deleted file is not actually deleted. It's just marked as inaccessible data on your recorder. You can use data recovery software to retrie it. Wondershare Data Recovery is the best option for you to recover lost files from your recorder. Since files are stored on memory storage of your Recorder, and deleted files can be easily overwritten by new data on it, you'd better stop using your Sony Recoder as soon as file was deleted. Hope it works for you!

Here are some recovery software you may rely on. Both programs can recover photos, videos and audio.

Photo Video Audio Recovery Software (for Windows)
Mac Photo Video Audio Recovery Software (for Mac OS X)

Be careful: Before your items are recovered, do not attempt to save more files to the device in case the original files(your audios) are overwritten.

dear sir,
sorry you can't recover it. because, it contains flash memory that's why it's not possible.
thanks

I solved the problem by connecting my Sony IC Recorder to the USB port on my McBook Pro computer and then emptying the trash can on the Mac computer. Visually (flashing red indicator light) and audibly (the recorder's sound that indicates something being erased), it was clear that mp3 files were finally, really being erased on the Sony recorder even though the recorder's own screen display had previously shown only empty folders and no files. Dragging files to the trash can doesn't really erase them unless you also empty the trash. All dragging to the trash can does is somehow mark the files in a way that, unfortunately, makes them invisible to Sony's file detection system.

If you did down load the file to your PC yes you can, but is impossible to recover from the unit the unit ask for confirmation before it really delete the file.

An adapter will not fix the problem. The files cannot be transferred to a computer using a USB port. The files must be transferred analog using the recorder's headphone cord. The files are then recorded to the computer from the Sony recorder using a program such as Windows Recorder. The ICD-B500 has many great features but archiving to a computer is not one of them.
