I don't want to dissapoint you or anything bu I heard that deleting them from the Library completely erases them from the system.

Anyway, even if it does, there are applications that help you recover some, if not all of the lost data.

I just tried an experiment (I'm on a mac), & deleted the contents of a shared folder. Yet the files were still there on my HDD. After refreshing the display LW refused to show these files. So I deleted this folder & reAdded it & LW still refused to show the files (despite still being on the HDD.) I'd suggest you use Explorer or whatever your search engine is to find this folder & its contents. It might still be there. If it's not, use Norton Utilities or another utility app that can recover deleted files (asap), before that region of your HDD gets written over by another file (might be best to temporarily close down LW in that case until you use such a utility.) I do know that if you delete incomplete files from your LW lib window, they are erased from your HDD.
