I have deleted an email group of about 25 names. Is there anyway to recover
this information?

You first? What's an "email group"? What version of Outlook? Did you look
in your "Deleted Items" folder yet? Anything you delete in Outlook, unless
you specifically permanently delete it, will be there.

I am working with Outlook 2007. The group I am refering to was an email
contact group. I looked in deleted folder, not there, I even went to restore
and restored previous settings to the day before, it didn't restore that
email contact group.

This is the one thing about Outlook I hate, this is not the first time I
have done this. It doesn't ask you if your sure you want to delete this group
it's just gone and I can't find it anywhere and beleive me I have looked
everywhere that I know to look.

You are still incorrect. Outlook does NOT use anything called a "group" in
contacts. Are you referring to a Distribution List?

There is no such thing in Outlook called an "email contact group". Perhaps
you mean a Distribution List.
I looked in deleted folder, not there,

Unless you emptied the Deleted Items folder, it would have been there. By
default, the Deleted Items folder is sorted by a date value. If you had your
DL for a long time, it would probably have been quite early in the list.
Sorting by the Icon column would have made it easier for you to find.
I even went to restore
and restored previous settings to the day before, it didn't restore that
email contact group.

Restore points don't work with data files.

Outlook treats you like an adult who knows what he's doing.
