If you put them in your recycle bin, and than emptied the recycle bin I am afraid that is the ind of it.

They say that the government can look at everything that has ever ben on your computer. but I doubt it.

once those files are deleted they are gone. you might want to create a briefcase or other folders to store important files in.

but just in case check your temp files.there may be portions of the files there, depending where you deleted them from..

Use file recovery!



-INFO-



File Recover is the type of utility software that users never think they require until they have accidentally deleted an important document or data file. Gone in a flash can be months or years of work, accounting records, documents, data files, and especially those files planned for tomorrows back up. No doubt, you are wondering, why buy a program when Microsoft Windows already has a Recycle Bin? Windows software has a Recycle bin as part of the package. Nevertheless, many deleted files bypass the Windows Recycle bin, and are neither saved nor recoverable. Furthermore, the Recycle Bin purges older files all the time in the normal course of doing its job.

File Recover is an easy-to-use file recover and undelete program, designed to restore accidentally deleted files. It supports hard disks for FAT12, FAT16, NTFS and FAT32 file systems (all Window vers.), and will recover files on logical and physical hard disks. The software is a safe and affordable do-it-yourself file recover solution to recover deleted files from all types of hard drives and other types of fixed media. File Recover supports IDE/ATA/SCSI drives and drives larger than 8GB. The program supports long file names.

File Recover can find and recover accidentally deleted files – even after the Recycle Bin has accidentally been emptied, as well as deleted by other means, for example by the Shift-Delete function, deleted from the command line, from within an application, deleted from Windows® Explorer or files that are not stored in the Recycle Bin due to large file size.

File Recover for Windows® is a non-destructive read-only application and will not write or make changes to the drive it is recovering from. File Recover for Windows® will scan the drive and bring up list of files which can be saved from the scanned drive. The search and filter function has robust sorting and search capabilities, including search by partial file name, sorting by name, directory, file type or deleted file date.

sadly enough i dont believe there's anything YOU yourself can do to retrieve those files. the people on here who are telling you you're screwed are idiots. no file deleted from a hard drive is ever truly deleted, but from there on it's no longer accessible to you. there are however some programs like this one that you can buy that will retrieve files for you that have been deleted from the trash/recycle bin [[depending on if you're using os X or windows]]

Okay. Everyone on this page is stupid. Do a system restore.



1. Click on Control Panel in the start up menu.

2. Click on Backup and Restore Center.

3. Click on Restore Files.

4. Choose a date from before they were deleted and let the system restore.

5. Restart your comp.

actually, there IS a website where you can download something for free and it'll get your files back. i found it for my friend not too long ago and it worked on the most part. only thing is now im having the same problem and cant find it for myself. so, there IS something you can do, you're just gonna have to keep googling.

Try clicking on the recycle bin and you might get them back. (That is a very big might.) If not, I am so sorry for you! good luck!

Let's say your in your pictures album.

&&& you have a picture un-wanted.

You click delete.



You will go to recycle ben.

You can STILL restore it.

But once deleted IN the recycle ben, your unable to make them come back.

not a free program. If you do not use your computer you may recover most of them by using a service but they are expensive.

Here's a site that has some options from you (recovery software). They emphasize using your computer as little as possible after you deleted them, since everything you do could be overwriting them.
