Deep Scan Recovery utilizes cutting-edge technology to scan your entire device for lost images, videos and audio files. It’s able to that by analyzing the following locations on the device:
Hidden Folders A hidden file is any file with the hidden attribute turned on. Just as you’d expect, a file or folder with this attribute toggled on is invisible while browsing through folders — you can’t see any of them without explicitly allowing all of them to be seen. They are not a security mechanism because access is not restricted – usually the intent is simply to not “clutter” the display of the contents of a directory listing with files the user did not directly create.

Cache Folders As you use applications, they start storing files to reference later. These files are stored in an app “cache.” For instance: When you’re using a web browser, it’ll save images you’ve seen so that they don’t have to be downloaded every single time the app needs them. This cache saves you time and data (source: Android Police)
Deep Scan Recovery analyzes the files contents and checks for lost images, videos or audio files.
