Okay, so I'm in a pickle. I just deleted quite a lot of files (photos and mp3) becuase of my stupidity and the habit of Shift+Deleting every unnecessary files. I checked Recycle Bin and they're not there! :evil:

 

 

 

 

 

Is there a way I can get these files back? I don't want to have to pay for those file recovery software that's just a bunch of crap.

Well, one good free one that I know of is here: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html

 

 

 

It works for me sometimes, not all the time. I have another that's a little better but it wasn't free. You can also do a Google search for one.

First off, STOP USING THE COMPUTER! when you delete a file, it is not really gone from your hard drive but rather has the header of the file telling the computer not to remove the file removed, if that makes sense. Using your computer could cause the overwriting of your data. Then try that file recovery software posted above.
