[iMore Question]

My 3 year old daughter got a hold of my iPhone 5. I've let her play with it from time to time but I don't think I'm gonna do that anymore after this. Her favorite thing to do is get into my video and camera app on my phone and fill up my phone with random nonsense photos and short videos. I think she has corrupted some of the video files while playing with it.

On my phone and on my computer in iPhoto, they appear as empty boxes with the little video camera symbol on them. Some videos are perfectly fine, but several aren't. Are these recoverable or pretty much gone forever? I have no idea even what they are videos of. I don't know if they're all just random clips of my living room or clips I've recorded of my kids. My husband might go get me an iPhone 6 today so I'd hugely appreciate an answer in the next few hours as it might be on that Edge program (we have Verizon). Thanks in advance!

There's probably nothing to recover... I'd just delete 'em.
