So this is what I did. I wrote a very important essay due tomorrow. I highlighted all of my documents and dragged them onto the C:\ drive. From the C:\ drive I dragged them into the recycle bin and then deleted them from there. I restarted my computer and noticed that I don't have any documents at all!! Can somebody please help me retrieve them??? I really need them and your help will be highly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

Welcome to Vistax64. :)

I've personally never had to use any program to recover anything (never deleted anything I didn't want to).

Although you can try Uneraser if you would like.

Two ways,

First anything you write to your HD now might overwrite that doc you want back.
If you install anything - try to do it on another partition.

If it has been deleted fro recycle bin , you should easily find it with free Glaryutilities Undelete module.

Try "other builds" - the bottom link of the three

Glary Utilities

Or you can use free ShadowExplorer - to look in your shadow copies - if a shadow copy was made before the file disappeared - it will be there to "export". i.e. copy back.

Yeah, you found it?

Shadow Explorer works well. Thing is, you have to have the Windows Shadow Copy service enabled.

If you delete something using <shift>-<delete> or through emptying your Recycle Bin, and you turned that service off, you're not getting that doc back.
