Plz plz help, what happens to deleted files?
 

I accidentally deleted files from "library" on limewire. Where can I find them again? My life seriously depends on it.. PLEASE!!!!!!!

If you delete a file from inside limewire they don't go to the the recycle bin. They are gone.

You'll need to do a system restore or get a file recovery program to retrieve your files. Use your cpu as little as possible until you do this.

There may be something more needed though, but don't give up just cause it doesn't work

You may need to change extensions

Also some of the files may be ruined while others work so try a few

Though now I've tried a few more and it's weird; about half of the songs work, half don't.. I won't give up, but I think I'll have too keep working on it tomorrow.. I've been by this f***ing computer for about 6 hours now :(

Thx for the help, you guys have been awesome :)
