Undelete

[Guest]

I accidentally deleted a file that I thought was backed up, and subsequently
emptied my Recycle Bin. Does anyone know of a commercial utility that can
search for an undeleted file? The problem is complicated by me not being
able to install any program on my hard drive, because it is a govt computer.
The application has to load from a CD or diskette and allow me to search for
the file on my hard drive from there, and then undelete it. This is a very
important file. Help.

Once you empty files from the Recycle Bin, those files are
usually permanently deleted from your computer.

You may wish to try a possible third-party solution:

You also can try the following, but there is no guarantee of success:

Search and Recover is a powerful arsenal of tools designed to instantly
recover deleted, destroyed, and damaged items from your PC. Such items
include files, folders, songs, pictures, videos, programs, critical system
components, web pages, and even e-mail messages. Search and Recover
works with any drive (hard or floppy of any size and format), and can even
recover deleted photos, songs, and more from digital cameras, MP3 players,
USB flash drives, and other digital devices.

See www.aumha.org/freeware/freeware.htm for a link to Restoration.

This fits on a floppy - indeed is best run from there so as to avoid
writing to the disk concerned if you can possibly avoid doing so. There
is bound to be a danger though that a deleted file has got overwritten
