i have a samsung galaxy tab s4. I deleted the directories from internal mempria with the Archive app. Will it be possible to recover with this application? Is it better to use the one for macX or windows?
Dr. Fone for windows asks me to set root rights but I have already done the steps to enable usb debugging. do i have to do anything else? what do you suggest me?

    Apart from root and activating root permissions, nothing else is needed. You have to start the scan and see if that data is recoverable.
