D.,

I've noticed you feel obliged to respond in cases like this.

In my experience, there is always the option to ignore. I believe in your
case this would be the best option.

You are not responding well to the "criticism". (Yes - those are quotation
marks around the word.)

I understand you are frustrated. You came here (obviously) because you lost
(deleted) some files and had no backup of them. You asked a question and
received a lot of good answers. It was when you let your frustration get
the best of you and responded (to everyone) in a rude manner that the
'like-wise' responses started. There may have been a few wise-cracks before
then, but for the majority of the conversation - directed at you was only
"try this" and "hopefully this will help" answers.


In case anyone ever comes across this thread in the many years to come that
it will be archived for all to find with a web search - there are tools and
services out there that can help you recover files you have deleted.

However - nothing beats *not* losing the files.

I know - it sounds obvious - but do you have a regularly scheduled backup
regime in place?
Do you ever backup your entire system?
Is it because you think it would be too complicated (drag/drop, copy/paste)
or too expensive (I have seen 1TB external drives for under $100) or too
time consuming (it could be a set-it and forget-it thing for many people)?

In other words - don't wait to learn from your mistakes - make backups. If
only everything in life allowed you to backup and return to a given state
from a particular time... Computers allow for this - abuse it.


In any case - some ways mentioned (that do work in most cases, some freeware
and some at a price) in this conversation include:
