Urgent Help! Deleted all Content accidentally!

Disaster Struck on me.

I was trying to delete some random setup files & accidentally my entire movies folder got deleted cause it was also Selected ... i noticed 2 mins later. as the folder is big.

Can i do anything about it?

There was 30 GB of DATA!! including my high school videos.

Any software ? or any recovery technique?

Its Urgent guys your help will be greatly appreciated

Anything deleted from the Recycle bin is unrecoverable. You might want to try System restore. But this will restore only system files.

 

Thanks a lot man!


btw I am trying out Trial version of 'Undo Delete' ...so far only 2 videos recovered... its not detecting all Videos... any idea why?

 

False.

I don't think it will bring back ALL the contents you deleted. But should most.

 

The Movies folder was on my D:/

I have habit of Shift+ del... so its permanently gone..

So far i recovered two Movies. Others are not listing .


All this happened only 5 Mins ago. I knew this forum will definitely help ASAP.

Thanks a lot guys +rep to those who helped.

And very grateful to all of you.



7 more Files to go.. i hope i am able to recover my old Videos.

 

refrain from saving or downloading any new data untill you recover those files. If you do, you have a higher chance of these files being written over. Refrain from deleting temp files, or defraging the HD. I use getdataback. It seems to work fairly well.

 

Try this tool bro i have been saved by tool many times its Commercial Product but just give it a try

Guys guys.. 90% Files got recovered by 'Recuva' ..i am gonna donate them.

Only one more file is left... there was a Movie in sub-folder.

D\:Movies\ ThisMovie

How to recover that? it was a purchased movie and hence i would be great if u have any solution.

 

Ah, glad to see you got 90% back at least.
Only think I can think of is re-scan or try another program.

And for future reference get shift+del out of habit. ;p

 

ya man..this Shift + Del is a dangerous habit. I ve learnt the lesson ...

What a relief! I lost on one movie out of 8.

The movie was 'The Insider' starring Al Pacino & Russell Crowe.. hence i wanted it the most.. anyway.
i know a friend who has the DVD.

Thanks Guys! And especially McGrady !

+ rep to each of you.

 

This is a good thread to look back at in case something happens to me =P

In all seriousness, I'm glad you managed to recover the important video files.

 

Back up your important data files on DVD or CD.

You escaped this time, luckily! Next time, you might not be as lucky.

 

Good Backup program?
SyncToy not good.

 

A good backup for me is a simple external drive. Every once in awhile, I just copy specific folders to the drive and disconnect until I use it again.

I have inadvertently "deleted" many things before, which I then just retrieve from the external......

 

Noc,

Haven't you learned your lesson yet? After losing your Firefox data, and now your movies, Get True Image and make some backups! True Image will also help with your new HDD question you had a week or so ago.

 

Acronis True Image

An external drive is a good tool, but if you have really important data, then you should also keep a hard media copy. Something like your high school videos or wedding photos should be archived on DVD or CD.

As media changes, update your backups to new media. If all of your backups are on 5 1/4 disks, for example!

 

Is there still a unrecoverable file?

Why Don't you try this?
