Restore

Two programs you can use for active file recovery. Recover files that have been deleted from the Recycle Bin. No guarantee that they'll fully work, as the software makers have stated, but worth a try.

Well atleast you know not to make the mistake again. Lol!

I suggest always backing up your files. Put them on another PC, hard drive, memory stick/flash drive, DVD, CD, or anyother possible means.

Only backup files you absoultly must have.
