Recover windows.old files

[Sikarious]

I am new to this forum, so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong section.


About two months ago I did a system restore. After the restore I stupidly deleted the files out of the windows.old folder.



Is there any way to get those files back without buying high-priced software?

I am thinking most likely no, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

Hello Sikarious, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I believe it will be gone for good once you deleted the Windows.old folder, but you might see if ShadowExplorer may be able to restore it from within the C:\Windows folder.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you Brink, I will give it a try.
