I was told by the comp. that C:/ was running out of space and was goin to free up space, i thought alright, couldnt hurt as long as i could see what i was goin to be freed up after it scanned. I didnt even think of looking in the recycle bin, thought nothin of it, and okay'd the deletion. There happened to be some stuff in the recycle bini hadn't meant to put there and now its gone. Is there any chance that it is still somewhere on my comp, after being emptied from the recycle bin??
Unfortunately no, once the recycle bin is deleted, it removes the files entirely. If the files are very important to you, there's a small chance that they could still be retrieved, but you would have to seek assistance from a Data Recovery service specialist in your area. There are some programs out there that you could purchase as well, that may be able to recover deleted files as well, and would be much cheaper than a data recovery service would, but there's also no guarantee through either of those methods if the results would be successful. My only suggestion at this point, if you want to increase the chances of the data being recovered, is to try and keep your computer as unused as possible, don't add or remove files, don't put stuff in the recycle bin. The reason I say this, is that files, even after their deleted, may leave remnant information behind on the hard drive platters themselves, and if you overwrite those specific sectors with more information, the leftovers usually get written over as well, thus being lost for good. Hope this helps!
