Hi KTK,

We've accidentally deleted files before. We use Recuva to recover them. (a free file recovery program) It may work, but the more times the drive is written to since the deletion, the less likely any recovery program will work.

Recuva (Free)

Here's instructions on how to use it:

Hope this helps,

No luck for me - I think that I must have saved over the files way too many times. I actually don't have a clue when I deleted it either.

Thanks for all your help though!

... I did the same thing today... and I can't seem to get the recovery program to work right... I don't know what to do.

Hi SheWolf,

We haven't used Recuva for awhile, so we don't remember the exact steps to take. However, I did a quickie search on How to use it, and found this how-to:

Hope this helps some.

I found some stuff on it myself. My file was unrecoverable, sadly.

I just noticed this Shewolf.. I am so sorry.. I know how awful this is. Hopefully your new legacy is going well.
