My deleted items arn't in my recycle bin !!

I just accidently deleted some excel documents, and I went to get them out of the Recycle bin and they arn't there 

Where can I get them from??

Did you double click the recycle bin folder?  That should open to show contents.

Also - did you delete 'normally' or use shift+ delete - which scraps stuff fully.  Chances are the files are there somewhere and you may have to find an undelete prog somewhere and do a search - there are many progs out there.

Whats an undelete prog?
Haha sorry im a bit of a beginner at this!

Under usual conditions - deleting does not delete permanently - it just lets the file table know the space is ''freed up'' for use by other things.  A full delete usually would involve over-writing with zeros or similar (DOD type delete)

Therefore - files can still be there even if no longer showing - and there are programs to help get at these files.  No specific recomendation for you but a search on something like "undelete files" might yield some options.  There are numerous progs out there.
