Electronics Help: I lost a file on my phone and I'm trying to recover it - Page 2

I accidentally deleted a video on my phone and I've been searching the web all night trying to figure out how to recover it. All I can find is a bunch of expensive file recovery programs. Surely people accidentally delete stuff all the time and there has to be an easier way to recover it for free, right? It's just a single video; I didn't delete multiple files.

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII. Anybody have any experience or knowledge of how to do this without paying a bunch of money?

Reminds me of a story, this friend of mine came into work all bummed out.
He broke down and said he had a pic of his penis taken to show some girl he met on the net. His wife found the file and of course recognized it. He had to explain to his wife it was a joke and such. It didn't go over very well as expected. A few years later they divorced. (they had other issues besides that incident)

He is a strange one and his wife certainly is also. It wasn't going to workout.
It was the second marriage for them both. Their first marriage was to each other, heh. Third time won't be a charm i can assure you if that ever happens.

A different friend had trust issues obviously. When he would come home, usually out with a buddy drinking and watching a game or the like she would make him pull down his pants and she would smell for penis for the smell of sex.

Everyone told him NOT to marry that bitch she was truly trouble with a capital T. She had twins, a year later they divorced and child payments ensued.

"I should have listened to all of you" he would say. We just laughed at him and told he was fucked.
