I missed accidentally delete all data on the storage.
I see many applications for data recovery required to root, but if root had to unlock bootloader before, if unlock bootloader it will wipe all data. Which may make recovery more difficult.
Are there better solution?
(I just want to recover the photos is enough.) T__________T

There is no real solution for you.
I wrote about it here:

What do the various ways of "resetting" the Moto G actually do? Which, if any, result in changes to phone user data versus phone applications or phone configuration data?
In Kitkat 4.4.4 there is Settings->Backup & reset->Factory data reset. What does this do? Does it just reset all the account and user information so that one is required to enter or create a google account? Does it affect any applications that were installed by a user? Or does it remove applications that were installed on the phone by the user since the phone was first used?
When you unlock the bootloader of the phone, it is "wiped". Which reset is done when this wipe happens? Is it equivalent to doing the Factory data reset above?
My phone is rooted and has twrp recovery installed. In twrp, there two wiping choices:
Wipe->Factory reset
Is the factory reset in twrp the same as the Settings->Backup & reset->Factory data reset?
Wipe->Advanced Wipe, which allows checking Dalvik cache, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, System, microSD card, USB OTG
If you select to wipe Dalvik cache, Data, and Cache is that the same result as doing the Wipe->Factory reset just above? If you wipe System, then you no longer have a bootable phone, right? What about Internal Storage?
I also have Xposed installed which makes changes to system files to customize android. How, if at all, does this affect what happens when the phone is "reset"?
Am I correct in assuming that the only one to return my phone to stock kitkat is to reflash a kitkat rom? What will happen if I do the Factory data reset under Settings, or the Wipe->Factory reset under twrp on my phone which has an unlocked bootloader, many applications installed, and Xposed and many Xposed modules that get loaded when the phone boots?
Does anyone know how to clear the cache partition of this phone? Samsung phones have this option in the recovery where you could clear the cache partition (you don't even need to be rooted for this). I was wondering if there is a Xperia equivalent.
Thank you.

Go to settings -> storage & memory -> click on 3 dots on right top corner and pick advanced -> Storage -> Internal shared storage -> once system calculate tap on Cached data it will ask if you want to clear it tap ok and you are done.
If you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP flashed you can do it from TWRP.

Hi. this only clear the app caches not cache partition (totally different). To do so :
Wiping the Cache Partition:
In case your handset is not working correctly and you're considering master resetting, then you might want to try and wipe the cache partition before doing so. Wiping the cache partition will not remove personal data stored on your handset's internal memory.
1:While the device is powered on, press and hold the "Volume Up" and "Power" keys
2:Wait for the display to shut down and for your handset to vibrate once
3:Release the keys once that happened, then press the "Power" key to turn on your device
You press the power button and volume up button simultaneously. Keep them pressed until the phone vibrates three times, then reboot.
The descreibed procedures here HARD reset the device (like pulling the battery). They do not clear the cache partition.
The easiest way to clear the cache partition would be via TWRP. On rooted phones you also could su in adb shell and then format the partition.
Note: the "cache" for each app is on the data partition.
Use a file manager and look into ../Android/data/-app-/cache : you will find the same amount of storage used as if you looked into "app info"->storage

Exactly, what was described down there is nothing more but a hard reset if you device locks up and freezes.
But to use TWRP you'd need to root the device, right?
So, basically, there's no way to wipe cache partition without root?

Kind of.
With UNLOCKED bootloader (backup TA first!) you can boot TWRP and then wipe the cache partition.

I see, so if you have unlocked bootloader, you cant temporarily boot into custom twrp recovery and wipe cache partition, but the TWR doesn't actually get flashed over stock recovery? It reverts to stock once you restart?
I'm interested in this procedure, I'm pretty sure my bootloader is unlocked, I bought the phone directly from Sony, it's SIM-unlocked so I guess the bootloader is unlocked as well.
Let's say it is and I go on with the procedure, does in it any way affect the stock bootloader and maybe void warranty?
My Rooting status says "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes". Not sure if that means that it's unlocked or that it's locked but I can unlock it.

Its locked....But you can unlock it. SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are completely different. You will never buy a device from direct from Sony that has its bootloader already unlocked.
If you unlock the bootloader you void your warranty immediately.

You should really read my [GUIDE]. Especially the section about TA-Backup.
There are also many links in the Guide if you want to learn and understand (and be surer) follow them.
I am selling my Moto X Play and want to make sure all my personal files were permanently removed from the device.
I did a Factory Reset from within the OS twice and noticed that my photos would still appear after the reset was completed.
So then I booted into TWRP recovery mode and went to wipe and wiped the internal SD and Data on the device, booted back into the system and the pictures were all gone. I then flashed a completely different rom and pictures are still gone now.
I just want to confirm that at this point that my files are completely erased and could never be recovered.
yes think now thet gone
So I want to recover files I mistakenly deleted recently on my currently unrooted phone. I've tried using DiskDigger, but it can only scan photos, and can only recover so much. Rooting can help, but I've learned to root my phone it has to factory reset (which wipes my phone upon unlocking). My question is, is it still worth it to root the phone to recover my files? I'm just afraid it would overwrite the recently deleted files when I reset the phone.
My phone is a Pocophone F1. Thanks a lot for your answers!
To root that phone, you need to unlock the bootloader. But this triggers a wipe, and the decryption key will be discarded, making any data recovery impossible.

So the data is basically unrecoverable? That's pretty sad
even with root access its hard to recovery deleted files from encrypted storage
