Accidental deletion of my library
 

I somehow mistakingly deleted half of my library in Limewire. The files were removed from their location. Is there any way to get them back???? Thanks.

They were removed how? If they were moved then move them back! lol If you accidentally stopped sharing files then go to LW's Library then menu File>Add Folder to Share

If you pressed the Delete button from the library then stop everything. Close LW & stop writing to your HDD. You'll need a file recovery utility. Norton Utilities does a good job. Others are around.

Here's some links I quickly found: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/search...der=descending

I just did a search at downld.com & free ones are here: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0-...49&dlsize=&ca=

& all here: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0....search=+Go%21+

Thanks so much.

Sorry I didn't think to search there 1st, it was an after-thought. The 1st on the list 'PC Inspector File Recovery' sounds ok. Though it may crash it does the job & is free. Read the reviews.

Good luck! ;) :)

help I deleted my files too
 

I just deleted all my files from my library and saved files list...I downloaded the recovery utility suggested but don't know how to use and what to do from here...is anyone online and able to help??? I lost like 500 songs I downloaded in the last couple of days...sooooooo sad!!!

Under the reviews given for that program the instructions are not so good. But if you go to the program menu & choose Help you can find better help advice there.

well, I played around w/ it for a while, but I'm not finding my music files anywhere...I had erased them in limewire after transferring to itunes...I didn't know that the file wouldn't stay in itunes...just a real bummer b/c I have spent WAY too much time the last few days getting loads of really fun songs...any suggestions of where I might look for the files?

It depends on how you add them to iTunes. If you used the Add to Library function within iTunes (Control & O) then it will copy the songs to its own library. Most other techniques require use of the Consolidation of Library function under iTunes' Advanced menu. See: iPod & iTunes Sticky (click on link) So double-check. Even use your search engine; Start menu>Search for files & folders.

As for your file uneraser, I'd suggest you try Drive C if that's where you were saving them to using LW.

Which Progam?
 

What file recovery program did you use? I tried Pc inspector and I found all my files and recovered them but when I try to play them it only plays like a few seconds of the song or video. Am I doing something wrong or what?
I also tried file scavenger and it did the same thing.
