Are you familiar with the general idea of "Trash" folder, and if so,
have you checked it for the deleted files?

Hi,

Here are a few things that needs to be known before answering:

1: What operating system is this on?
2: What format is the drive (FAT,FAT32,NTFS)?
3: Have you "saved" anything since this delete?
4: As stated above, if using Windows, have your check the "Recycle Bin"?
5: Did you delete this in the operating system that is list in #1?


Though if the "files" are not in your recycle bin, you would need some
software to restore these files. Some maybe freeware or the likes.

Note: Sectors where the file resided at, still contain the files,
though flagged as "Deleted". So any use of the machine (hard drive)
for storing will more than likly overwrite these files in part or
whole.

didnt se it as that importnat, buty as i said, that was recomended to

thats the demo link, if you dont want to pay for it you could crack
the file but erm it is illigal so i wouldnt go to any crack sites
such, as its ur choice however google always provides :D

but as ur offering a 20 doller question ime gessing the files are
inportant so paying for the program wont be a problem if the demo
finds them

p.s. when u press delete the file should be sent to the trash can
unles it is a system file or you pressed SHIFT-DELETE in which case
you should try the program, also if the files cna be redownloaded and
replaced (i.e. u didnt make the files) you can jus redownload them by
searching for files names in google.com as i said before, google
always provides

Good luck,
