I want to create a new user profile for existing user due to user profile corrupted, I made a big mistake when I was trying to move user's data from old profile to her new profile - both My Documents and Desktop. I had an issue with logging into the new user profile. it shown the profile is somehow corrupted, and a temporary profile will be applied. after login, I started moving data over from the old profile to new profile (I forgot I was working on the temporary profile). after I copied everything over - including some very huge and important databases, I loged out the user. I realize everything is gone when I log back in.

I wonder if anyone knows if there is any way to recover the lost data. I'd very very much appreciate your help
:cry:

System Resore is for the OS and not personal information, but I would try a system restore and see just how much is retrevied.

Worst case scenario, but the expected one, the account is returned with settings, but no personal documents.

Before trying anything make a system restore of what you have now, so you can return in the event of problems.
I am assuming that you did not make any backups.

I will be honest, I think the data is gone. It is my thought, that if you bring back the old (not temporary) profile, before the transfer the documents may still be there. As I said, before, though, System Restore is suppose to restore the OS, not documents, but I think it is worth a try. Wait until others answer, then you can select the best option. Good luck.
