I just want to know. After you delete it from the recycling bin, how do you find it?

When you delete a file from the recycling bin, you're really just destroying the 'pointer' to the file that lets the operating system find it. It still exists somewhere on the drive. There used to be utilities that could search your hard drive for the data, but (a) they're a pain to use and (b) they may not work with modern filesystems. Best not to delete a file from the recycle bin unless you're absolutely sure you won't need it ever again.

Norton Utilities includes the "Norton Recycle Bin" which allows you to do that but unfortunately you need to have it installed on your computer before you delete the stuff you want to recover. There is no other way unless it's worth it to you to have your hard drive disected by a pro at a very high cost and even then it might not be possible to get what you're looking for. Restoring your system to a prior date does "NOT" undelete items it only returns system files to their previous state.

Hey.
Well I'm not very smart. I guess you could call me a stupid fool. But like I dont think you can find anything after you've deleted it from the recycling bin.

Set your computer back to the day before you did it.
