After deletion, files remain on a hard drive until they are replaced or retrieved at a later time. Android phones work in the same way.

In the majority of cases, files or text messages are not erased immediately from a system. They are marked as an inactive file, making it invisible with the ability to be replaced. New files are added to your device as you continue your use, and they begin replacing content which was deleted. What this means, if you have a text message that needs recovering, it is best to stop using your device before it is wiped out permanently.

Some of the more popular ones include Dr. Fone, Android Data Recovery, FonePaw Android Data Recovery, and Coolmuster SMS + Contacts Recovery.
After choosing which software utility to use, the process is simple. Install the one you chose to your PC and run it. Be sure that USB Debugging is turned on which is located in Android Setting app under Developer Tools.
There is a specific step which needs to be followed for each software. Some require an Android app on your PC to do the work, while others allow the software to do it. Make sure instructions are followed for the program you use.
