If you opted to delete the user's files when deleting the
user, they're gone. Your problem might be that the "My
Documents" folder in your account is linked to the
deleted user's account. If this is true, the files are
gone indefinently. You could try using an un-delete
program, but that might not get everything, if it works
at all.
