I accidentally put some files in recycle bin and deleted them, is there a way to get them back?

Yeah.

how then?
is there a program i can download?

thanks

There's all kinds of programs you can download, some of which do useful things. That's the great thing about the Internet

any recommendations?

Not a fucking clue, sorry

I haven't done it for years, and can't remember what I used then.

Try this... says it's free but don't know if it's any good.

Basically, when you delete a file, most OS's don't bother going through and erasing every byte of data, because it would take ages. They just mark the first couple and last couple of bytes as "this stuff is deleted" so it can be written over as needed. Which means you can revover it. Or something liket hat anyway.

But as I said it's not something I've had to do for years, so give the above a try and then you can tell us if it's any good.

I've always found Recuva gives the best results.

Yeah I didn't refresh the page before posting. Shame really, because it would have prevented you from being a stroppy cunt and I may have been inclined to buy you a pint or two on Monday :)

What's happening monday?

There's a football match and I have the day off as well.

Is it Rovers already?

Wouldn't it be better to have Tuesday off, or do you have that too?

Yeah I have that off as well. Monday off to ensure I'm in Swindon and not working away.

Tuesday off to ensure I don't have to get up early after the inevitable beers.

as my problem is deleting related i'll hijack this thread.
i downloaded winrar some time ago and want to delete it as it costs money after a certain amount of time.
when i try to delete it,it wont allow me to do it.
anyone have a clue how to get round this?

You can still use it arriba, you just get an annoying message about updating from the trial version, but you don't have to.

How are you trying to 'delete' it? (assume you mean uninstall).

yeah trying to uninstall via ad or remove programmes.
if i dont have to pay to use it then i aint bothered about removing it.

7zip is free and is better. If the adverts really end up annoying you. Although it sounds like you don't care.

Revo uninstaller should be able to get rid of it:

That's quite a good one Si. I also like Smarty Uninstaller 15 day trial, handy for those one off jobs
