iTunes Library disappeared

[George harris]

On Limewires window I saw a bunch of my iTunes files that I thought I didn't want to be on Limewire - so i deleted them all. When i get back to my iTunes Library , all of my music is gone?? Everything? What did i do? Can I recover it?
Why should my whole iTune library be showing on Limewire?

OUCH! Looks like you actually deleted the actual music files. The way to remove them from LW's library window is to Control-click those folders you don't wish to share & choose Stop Sharing. I am not sure of a file recovery program for mac OSX. It depends which OSX version you have. Norton Utilities for OSX 10.3 or earlier has a file recovery program in it called Unerase I think off hand. Norton stopped supporting OSX from 10.4 and higher up (except their anti virus program.)

Someone else may know of an OSX file recovery program you could use.
