I accidently deleted some important files that i wanted from 'MY DOCUMENTS',
not to my recycle bin but permanently. Is there any way i can retrieve back
my files?
Many Thanks!

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.

Hi,

To try and retrieve your deleted files, you would want to use an undelete
utility. These are commonly available for free, and work on the premise that
the space the file formerly occupied has not been overwritten with new data
yet. Once that has occured, recovery requires more extensive (and expensive)
work with dedicated forensic tools by someone who knows what they are doing.

This one here works quite well for basic file recovery:

Rick,

The link you sent is broken. Do you have another? Or the name of the utility
you are recommending?
