I know this is a long shot but I am going to get killed by
my wife! I have deleted my whole photo album from the
computer. I emptied the recycle bin and it is not there.
Is there any way possible to restore these folders?
Honeymoon pictures etc are on there and I am gutted. Could
a computer shop help?
thanks

Hi Paul,

Restoration will do what you want.
Restoration download and review - file undelete utility from SnapFiles:

I would suggest limiting disk activity until the restoration is complete.
This will reduce the chances of any of the image being over written.

Paul,

Do what Bert suggests with Restoration.

I would also consider this;

Shut down your machine then use another machine if possible so you
don't overwrite the files and then download Restoration. If the
files are overwritten they will be practically impossible to
restore. Put the small download on a floppy, d-click it and then run
Restoration.exe on your machine. Run it from the floppy
immediately after booting to Windows. If another machine is handy
leave yours on meanwhile and close anything that may access the
disk.

Regards,

Bill Watt

You need 3rd Party software for that. And the longer you use the
computer, the less likely you will get them back. Currently the space
occupied by those programs can freely be used by the system. As soon as
something overwrites it, the files are truly gone.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
