Recovering deleted things
I know this sounds like a dumb question...but is there any way to recover items that you PERMANENTLY deleted? I know permanent is the key word, but I also know that computers are stupid and sometimes you find stuff that you thought was deleted. So if anyone knows if theres any way to recover something that u permanently deleted, please let me know because I deleted something accidentally from the recycle bin :/

Try this free trial undelete program. They say it's great (but don't they all). I'd say, it's worth a try. Do it asap since the more you write to that drive, the less chance you have for recovering anything.

If you want to guard against that in the future, think about getting GoBack. I've used it for years and I consider it the single best software purchase I ever made.

Regards.

Lightbulb Recover
I once lost buku files. Maybe 20 albums plus 600+ songs, all in
mp3 format. I was freaking. I spent $90 for a program called
r-studio. I'm not sure if they have a trailware version. If you
don't get back what you need, you run scan again untill you
get what you lost. It's awsome. You can go to google and type in
r-studio, download from web site. PM me if you need assist, ell.

Yea..I believe I DL'd a trial for that program...and it didnt work. But people keep saying if you write too much to the disk, itll be harder to recover anything, so I think that may be my problem...I think i waited too long before DL'ing all these programs, because I can't get anything back.
