Getting Your Deleted Files Back

Sometimes it happens; either you accidentally delete a file, or some type of system crash deletes them for you.  Either way, the good news is that your files aren't really deleted at all.  What happens to deleted files is that they are moved to an unused part of your hard drive where they stay in perfect condition until that part of the hard drive is needed for new data.  At that point, the new information overwrites the 'deleted' files.

In reality, files are not deleted, they are overwritten.  Provided your files have not been overwritten, there is a free program called Recuva which does a great job in 'undeleting' files so you can use them again.

Larger files may be recovered in parts, or pieces, but you just have to paste them together to get your file in its original form.

If not now, then sometime...Recuva will come to the rescue.
