i would like to know how i could get these back without
spending a lot of money on recovery programs, if anyone
can help me please let me know. (e-mail address removed)
 
Hi Adam,

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:

If you are lucky, you may find them in the recycle bin - but only if
you haven't emptied it in the interim.
