Unhappy Accidentaly deleted shared files

HELP! I didn't want to share the files becuase some of them were my own work so I deletd them from Limewire thinking tha it would just take it off off of the sharing list but when I looked for the files on the hard drive- THEY WERE GONE! I checked the recycle bin but they're not there either. Is there any way I can get my files back?

ANY ideas would be a bid help

Talking this should work

I know your dilema. I have accidently done the same. I have used this program successfully. Check it out and decide for yourself. It has worked for me. The "read me" file will scare the crap out of ya, so I suggest not reading it (seriously). Anyways, go here: http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html , download it, and use it. Like I said, it has worked for me and I still have the program on my comp just in case I do something stupid again in the future.

Good journey!

So you deleted the file to stop shareing it? Well, it worked; too well. The first thing you need to do is STOP writeing to your hard drive, as you may overwrite your "deleted" files. Like flrman said you need an undelete program. Judging from Restoration's uh.... website I woulden't really trust it (but flrman says it works). Other programs are probably better, so I reccomend going to www.download.com and finding a program there (I assume you are useing window$, but since you never told us...). Norton System Works has an undelete program, but I've never used it . Good luck.

Unfortunately I wrote over the files with some other programs so when I searched for them using a restoration utility, they wee not found. It's cool though. I learned a lesson: be afraid of... DELETE!

Thanks for the help though.

Well, I'm sorry for your loss; I hope whatever it was is somewhat replaceable. Hopefully you have learned something, and will not make the same mistake twice.

On the mac norton's Unerase is very good. Or has been in the past. On osx it seems a little slow to recognise deleted files. So for windows which hasn't reall changed that much in its fundamentals, I'd suggest it'd probably also be good. Norton Works is a handy utility to have around.
