I have deleted some files from a USB stick by accident. Where do they go to? Are they recoverable?

Have a search in google there are some free programs that can do that providing the files haven't been overwritten by further work that you've done on that pen.

Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download (http://www.piriform.com/recuva)

From the same stable as CCleaner.

Two versions HERE (http://www.piriform.com/recuva/builds) including a portable version (second down).

Works well; similar problem with a USB Flash Drive recently.
Navigate back to the 'stick' drive letter and scan. Highlight required items and right-click for recovery options.

Good luck!
