    Formatting any storage device only throws away the directory information that the file system uses to find the files. Your system wont actually delete the files unless you specifically tell it to overwrite with other data (such as a 'security wipe' that writes random data to the whole disk )... So after a simple formatting, you can use a scavenging program to rebuild the directory and recover the files.
