Everything started to get removed and I only realised it until almost all of my files were gone. now I know for a fact that things don't actually get deleted from your pc and are only recognized as space for overwriting when you d/l some more stuff. So there must be some sort of software that can help me out right?[/quote]
in order to restore lost files you must have had a drive set up that keeps deleted files. most of the things that you delete are actually kept in a part hidden on your drive. the fbi has a program that can get to those files. i would knowbecause they took all of the computors at some high school in my district because some stupid kids tried to counterfeit money...
