Wow. I'm so pissed off at myself right now. I just deleted a folder that had over 300 music files in it, and then emptied the recycle bin. I was trying to delete a different folder, but I accidentally deleted this one.
 Any way I can get it back? |

Sorry to break the bad news, but no there's no way....
300 songs isn't a lot to be honest, give me an hour and I can get all that back.. |

I know it's not a lot, it's just that the music that was in that folder was hard for me to find.
Well. This sucks. Thanks anyways. =\ This can be closed. I guess. |

Do you have Windows XP? You can use System restore and restore to the day before you deleted the folder.

If you have a copy of Norton SystemWorks, there's a tool on there that might recover the data. There are other tools, too.
Basically, when you delete something from a computer, you don't delete the actual bits that make up the file; rather, you delete the computer's record of that file, which means that it acts as though it isn't there, and can eventually overwrite that sector of the hard disk. However, if you use a recover utility in time, you can often find the "ghost" of the "deleted" file on the drive and recover it. The longer you wait, though, the more likely it becomes that the file will be overwritten with a new one. |
