I cant believe what i have just done!
I had a folder that had about 15gb of vital files and I put them all into a zip file. I never opened the zip file and I deleted the folder with all the files. It told me they were to big to fit in the recycle bin so it deleted them permanently.
I then went to open the xip file and had the biggest shock of my life.
I got the warning: The compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted.
I cant believe it. Worst of all they werent my files! They were my brothers! I tried a system restore to earlier that day, but no luck. Is there anything I can do! I think I might die/or be killed if I dont get those files back!

As for your problem... OP. I wish I could help you but I'm not in the mood to spend 5 days tryin to assist you. System restore normally works but if you already restored your system to a previous restore point, you just made it even worse. Good luck.

If you were in Linux, once you delete it from the trash can... it's gone forever.
