as everyone states, try the recycle bin.
Then, since nothing on the computer is deleted, - it is just given a ? in the name, you can use undelete to find all the files with a question mark. There are dozens of programs which search for files with ? in them - try majorgeeks.com or tucows or downloads to find current programs, many are free.
The only thng that actually destroys " deleted " files is to write new files on TOP of the old ones..

Check the recycle bin?....No really, I would first recommend seeing if you have the windows restore feature active on your computer. If so you should only have to go back to a previous save to get you data back. If not, you could make use of data recovery software such as StompSoft's Recover Lost Data or comparable product to retrieve the data for you. Just make sure that you do this in a timely manner or else you may find that the info that you were looking for was overwritten by another process.

I'm guessing by now you know about the Recycle bin. If not there your chances are slim of recovering it with a third party utility (e.g. Norton). The main problem is that the deleted space is many times used by new files written to your hard drive.

I have been using a product called easy recovery made by Ontrack software. It is both easy to use and very effective. Somtimes it can take quite a bit of time if you have to recover raw data but it will also do this for you.

Yes, all deleted files are thrown to the Recycle Bin. Go down to the Bin, press you mouse on it and take your mouse to file/s you deleted. Right click on that file and click "Restore".
Second option. Point your mouse to Edit Menu and click "undo"

Are the files still in the recycle bin? If they are, drag them out of there onto your desktop to recover them. If not, you're screwed.
