Recycle Bin, Need a Deleted file Back!

Binned a file the other day, emptied the bin and now found I need it back.

Anyway, how can I find the deleted file?

Thanks.

Agree with Saaby. Freeundelete worked for me. Seems to work easily so long as not much has been done on the computer since the dleetion occurred.

Thanks chaps, just tried that. First sweep came up with six different 'folders'. No sign of files in there that I wanted back.

Second sweep was done after I had just deleted something to see if it would show up and it did. The recycle bin was in the list with the thing that I had just deleted.

The laptop was turned off overnight since I deleted the files.

You can give System Restore a try - but..........you cannot go forward. It worked for me. Yet the undelete tweaks seem good. I guess its how desperate you are Paul. There is also Google, just put the file name in and see what comes up.
