Whoops! It got deleted.... er... maybe not...
I'm sure most of us have accidentally deleted files that we wished we didn't. I know on older PC computers there was a command you could use in DOS to recover deleted files. But he same command used on MS-DOS versions 5.0 to 6.22 no longer works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, ME, XP or any other Operating system.
I was reading Woody's Watch last night, and in his newsletter he mentions a free utility for un-deleting files.
FreeUndelete is a freeware data recovery program for deleted files. Please note on the website that it says:
A deleted file is essentially an area on disk designated as free and ready to accept data (such as contents of some other file). Luckily, unless the area has already been overwritten, it still holds the contents of the deleted file. Due to this fact it is possible to undelete files.
So it is wise not to waste time if you have deleted something but run this program right away. The more you use your computer the more chance you will have of over-writing the space that was assigned to the deleted file. This means... even this program won't be able to help you.
