Default RE: All my pictures have disappeared.

I had all my pictures in a folder, I accidently deleted and sent to recycle
bin, which I emptied not knowing my folder was in there. Is there a way to
get the folder back. I am just sick about this. thanks for any help.

Hi Stacy,

Now you know how important it is to back.

Here a utility that works well at retrieving files that have been deleted from the recycle
bin.

Restoration - file undelete utility:

Hi Bert,
Well it worked to a point. Not all of my folder came back. And some of the
pictures say "file exists, but might be damaged". What does this mean?
thanks for your help.

Means write everything down. Restore what's not damaged. then go back after
you've restored what works, and try to get the damaged ones. In some cases they
may still resemble an image though cut off at the bottom requiring cropping for
square.

Hi,

It most likely means that the files in question were partially over written by another
files. Here are a couple of data recovery sites.

Drive Solutions, Inc. Data Recovery

Data recovery software, hard drive data recovery by Ontrack Data Recovery
