Default Recovering Deleted Files

I'm new to this, so please bear with me.

I was trying to upload some video files and accidenlty deleted them. I tried to recover them in the "Recycle Bin" but they were not there. Then I did a complete "Search" of the Drive C for the files, and they did not turn up.

Does anyone know how I can recover these files?

Thanks!

Tex

Hold on now! Your files may still be recoverable. What you need to do is get an unerase tool. I know that Norton SystemWorks will do the job, but there are other programs that will do the job. Go to www.download.com to look for some freeware and shareware software unerase utilities. You need to do this as soon as possible though. When you delete files in windoze all that is done is the file name is changed the file is still on the hard disk. However, windoze can no longer see the file and will overwrite it if it needs to. I hope you recover it.

deepblue,

Thanks for the information! It worked (sort of). I recovered about 95% of my files. I'm still missing a few, but nothing to get too concerned over.

I used Active@Undelete. The URL is: http://www.active-undelete.com/googlegl.htm. It has a "Demo" version for free, but because my files were so large, I had to use the pay version. It's $40.00, but I think it was money well spent.

Again, thanks for helping me out!


Tex

Exclamation Did all that...still got a problem

Hi...

Blue-man...

I did all that...the files were only deleted today, but they were not in 'limewire incomming'...

Could there be an other map where I'm supposed to find them?
Thanks

If an un-erase tool of some sort doesn't recover your files they must have already been overwritten. I'm afraid that it's almost impossible to recover your files if that is the case. Make as little changes as possible to your hard drive and try several different tools to find them (shareware and freeware, I reccomend trying to find a free or trial tool before you buy). Good luck.

RTM!!! There's others around also for doing the same thing. Here's some references to others: Accidental deletion of my library, & also this PC Inspector File Recovery (click on link)

Why did you tack onto this thread? Your question's not about deleted files

In LW view > show/hide. Make sure Library is ticked, otherwise you won't see the library tab.

In the "incomplete files" menu in your limewire library,It shows alL of the files that are currently downloading or the ones which you canceled the download of...If that is little help..im sorry..But always works for me.

Hello,

I suppose you might use Active@ undelete tool. This worked great for me and never failed before yet. What is more, its last version can boot itself from a disk
