Title: Accidently deleted files
Post by: Buddy on August 27, 2006, 09:50:36 PM

Is there any way that I can retrieve files that were deleted from my computer?   It has Windows XP.  I tried a system restore with no luck.  My wife will KILL me!!

While deleted files are not actually deleted, what about overwriting a file?
