    The file never actually deletes. You can recover it after days or weeks as long as you dont delete much. Use the above software it works great for me.

    This may be a moot point now, but in the future when you delete something or
    empty your Recycle Bin and want to recover something from it... Stop using
    the computer now. Your recovery chances are better if the file has not been
    overwritten.

    This is free.

    Glenn is 100% correct, GreatOne.
    .
    "Deleting" a file is really a process where we tell the computer it is OK to use the HD space the file is stored in for other purposes. This is because it is MUCH faster to do this than to actually erase the file data by writting over it. It's also much easier on your HD physically, as wear and tear on the movable components is reduced drastically. (i.e.- makes your HD last longer)
    .
    Destroying that data actually requires the space on the HD where the data is stored to be written over, either with new data or with random numbers.

    And as tjatheron said in his answer, the less you use your computer after deleting something you want to recover, the greater the odds you will be able to recover the data.

    There is a free application called Recuva by Piriform that might help.

    Files are still recoverable after deleting from Recycle BIn. When you delete files the data itself isn’t deleted, just the index entry that tells the system where the data for those files is located. The area containing the deleted data is also now marked as free space so it is available for any new files to be written there instead. You can recover those files before it is overwritten by some other data. I hav personally used one such gud software called Kernel for FAT and NTFS, u can also download d latest version of software from http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/Kernel-FAT-and-NTFS.shtml
