A couple of weeks ago, I accidentally deleted a contact that I just now realized I need.
I searched Google for answers, but only found Gmail backup (it didn't bother recording phone number contacts, only emails) and shady 3-rd party restoration software. Well, what the hell, against all gut instincts I tried the software, and after the scan and several restarts of my phone, nothing yielded.
I know that most laptops have a "reserve" trash bin that gets emptied out by the system every so often, so there's a chance for file recovery. Is there something similar I can manually find on my phone?
Can I somehow somewhere find the contact I deleted, or is it game over?
