Firstly you need to understand what happens in windows when a file is
created and more importantly when it is deleted.

Research again but in a nutshell when you delete a file ( empty recycle
bin ) THE FILE IS STILL ON YOUR SYSTEM but it is known as a 'ghost file' and
is in an area on your hard drive that can be overwritten. Windows saves
files non sequentially so that 'ghost file' could stay on your system for
months or even years.

This is the reason why one poster suggested installing the recovery software
seperate to the drive you want to recover because the install program could
overwrite the ghost file.

Starting up your pc can also delete your ghost files so always best to scan
hard drive in a seperate pc.

These recovery programs search for the 'ghost files'.

thanks to all of you for your replies .
after extensive research i firmly believe
that there is NO way of recovering files
once they have been deleted from
the " recycle bin " .
i now realize that 99 % of these " fix whatever "
programs are TOTAL scams .
shame on me .
pareto logic is a TOTAL scam which you
should NEVER even consider .
regcure is worthless .
believe me and save yourself $$$$$$ .

Ghost file? Is that a technical term similar to phantom file?

A ghost file is a file created by the Norton Ghost program (according
to Wikipedia).

The best you can hope for is maybe, and it depends.

Be prepared emotionally not to recover it and hope you do.

That's not so hard.
