Help!!!!Is there a way to retrieve DELETED Files on your computer?

[_That_Cracka_J]

I just accidently deleted a folder which contained a couple hundred albums on mp3.  It didn't send it to the recycle bin either!  Is there a way I could possibly retrieve these from my hard drive?  I've already tried System Restore and it didn't work.

Thanks

Hey, I got a question, too.  I wrecked my porshe last night... um, is there anyway we can just rewind time before I get in the wreck?  I'm really at a loss here...

don't listen to the people with their heads up their ass on here.

first thing first, see how important they are too you.

secondly, download a data recovery program.  you can download them for free, and then use them to see what you can recover.  but to recover, you need to purchase the program.  I was able to download one of the full programs off of IRC tho.

the more stuff you delete, the more you turn on/off your computer, the harder it will be to recover them.  and don't feel so bad.  In september 04 I lost nearly 16000 mp3's.  Last week I just lost 20000.  I have my harddrive in a data recovery place seeing if they can get them back.

Thanks for the help and suggestions...I got a program called "Search and Recover 2".  I am able to retrieve the delted files, but I still have to change a lot of the tag information that I altered in Musicmatch.  At least I was able to save them!

depending how long ago it happened and how much activity your drive has had since then, try using a program called file scavenger. works everytime for me
