Is there any way to recover a single, completely deleted file - when my
system restore was suspended for lack of space?

system restore only restores
certain files that are dedicated
to the system.

but regular files would
not be restored.

however, there is a freeware
called "recuva" and it will scan
your entire disk of deleted files
that are flagged for overwriting
by the o.s., if it needs the space
those files are occupying.

carefully review the results and
then select the file you want to
recover.

Google for Recuva (freeware). If possible, you should download it on another
machine and install it on that machine then copy the the Recuva folder to a
flash drive and run it from there. You don't want to overwrite the space
used by the file you're trying to recover.

Use Google to check for "undelete" tools. After resolving this problem,
review your current philosophy about regularly backing up important files to
an independent medium such as an external USB disk (which must NOT be
connected to your PC for most of the time!).

And he's not referring to a flash drive either.
