If you chose the 'send to recycle bin' option then you could restore them from there.

If they haven't gone to the recycle bin, try the advice here: DELETING FILES FROM LIMEWIRE LIBRARY-DON"T! - File recovery advice!

Good luck

Normally there's an icon on your desktop. Which OS are you using?
I think for Mac it's called Trash, rather than Recycle bin.

If you delete files from the Library, you normally get a popup window asking do you wish to delete or send to recycle bin (or Trash for OSX users). With LW 4.18 the popup window with button that says delete means delete files from computer. Send to Trash/Recycle bin means just that. With LW 5, Remove from Library simply means it is no longer listed in LW's Library but still on computer. The Send to Recycle Bin/Trash means just that. So if you sent the files to Recycle Bin / Trash, that's where you would find the files. If using LW 5 & chose Remove from Library, then nothing is wrong.
