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.

Heres a thread with more info: DELETING FILES FROM LIMEWIRE LIBRARY-DON"T! - File recovery advice!

Just a lil more help if i could get some: Restoration has found the files! Then I "restore by copying. Works beautifully.. But then they don't open.. Like with music for instance.. I doubleclick it but itunes doesn't play the song.. What should I do now?

Try right clicking on a file and choose open with

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
