Accidently Erased Downloaded Folder (help!)
 
When I originally installed Limewire, it had the folder with all the downloaded files and then the Incomplete files. By accident I erased the downloaded files folder (I don't know exactly what the folder is called) and now I don't know how to get all my files back. I tried pretty much everything, I even uninstalled then re-installed Limewire but still nothing happened. I'm willing to erase all the files I've downloaded so far just to start out with a blank folder.

Can anyone help me as quickly as possible?

Thanks, Tucker1616

There are file retrieval utilities out there that'd be great for your problem. But you'd need to use it whilst trying not to continue saving files to that HDD or partition.
Go to your LW menu Tools-Options & Saving. That should tell you where your dwnld folder is. If you think you deleted it, press the Add/Browse button (under the Options & Saving) & reselect that folder. Else if it is deleted, simply create a new one from within this window. Your incompletes play no part in this, except you'd run into problems if you completed a dwnld & there was no dwnld folder for it to go to.
Here's an example:

Here's some file recovery utilities if you need any: http://www.data-recovery-software.net/ & also http://www.officerecovery.com/ & also http://www.uneraser.com/ & also http://www.stellarinfo.com/disk-recovery.htm & also http://www.tucows.com/filerecovery95.html & there seems to be too many also's so this is a list of them. I think Norton Utilities has one also.

Wow that was fast, thanks for the help :) Sorry about that, there's probably like 300 threads a day like this, but I wanted help fast because I've been trying to fix this problem for a few days now.
Thanks again!

Hope you find your files. If you did delete the folder: I guess it sounds a bit basic, but sure your dwnld folder didn't end up in the trash can (without emptying it)?
