Hi,
Yesterday i deleted a folder i thought i did not need anymore and I also
emptied my recycle bin. Is there any way of recovering this folder.
Thanks for your much needed help
 
Hi Jimmy,

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:

Will and Rick, if I may add. Jimmy should have been informed if he downloads
the Restore program, to do it to a 3 1/2 floppy disk and not the harddrive for
it may overwrite what he is trying to recover. He can run Rest2514 from his
"A" drive.
 
Hi

My downloads go onto a different partition from my system drive (if that's
where these particular files were). The downloads can be configured to a
different location to save overwriting any data that is going to be
recovered.
