Thank you for once again proving that periodic and consistent
backups are a wise decision.

BTW - you are of the type that might purchase "Undelete" and use its
features to prevent future mistakes on your part. It's a good
program for such things...

Pot meet Kettle...? *grin*

I can only guess that you make reference to my earlier response [today] (can
be seen in the archive referenced above) - although if you are, you would
think you would respond to that particular response - so I could be
incorrect.

I gave a compilation of the answers here and added to them for people who
may have your problem (deleting and/or losing files) in the future. In
fact - I think I will do that again - as the more that is out there - the
more likely someone attempting to resolve their own issues will find the
answer they seek...

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:

Recuva

Easeus Deleted File Recovery

Restoration

Undelete

Hopefully this will be helpful to *someone* out there.
