    Part 2: How to Recover Facebook Photos via Google Chrome

    The method on this guide will only recover deleted Facebook photos, in case they were unique photos that we didn't have a copy of on our hard drive. However, it is not possible to restore the photo's post, however, including any likes, shares, and comments. The same goes for any other type of post.

    Step 1 : Open a new tab on Chrome and type: chrome://cache

    Step 2 : press Ctrl+F to open the Chrome search, and type "_n.jpg."

    Step 3 : select the whole URL with the mouse, right-click on it and select "Go to" on the context menu.

    Tips:

  • The URLs are added to the cache as we view them. If we try to recover Facebook photos right after we deleted them, it's better to start from the bottom and move to the top.
  • If the URL we intend to check contains a "/p(numbers)x(numbers)/" or an /s(numbers)x(numbers)/ part, it means it's an automatically resized Facebook thumbnail.
  • Of course, if we deleted our browser history with the Cached images end files option, or uses an app like Ccleaner to do so, we won't find any cache to recover.
