Should be in the Recycle Bin. Presumably you don't clean out your recycle bin daily. I have an icon on my desktop to access the Recycle Bin which I believe is the standard location.

I find it useful to store another copy of my seldom accessed files on the cloud. There are plenty of freebies like MS OneDrive and GoogleDrive.

Thanks for your answer, but I have cleaned the Recycle Bin and I deleted the file.

Any method to recover the file?

try a program called recuva, http://www.piriform.com/recuva

it scans your drive for deleted files and can recover them if the drive space hasnt been over written by new info. really straight forward program, good luck.
Believe your right, till proven wrong. Doubt is the greatest enemy.

There are professionals in most cities who can do this safely. They are expensive, but know what they are doing. Do not use your computer until the task is done.

Google also for "Undelete" it's a free program to recover deleted files.

Yes, it is good choise...

 

  1. Jordi04 - Don't download and move any files in your harddrive before you try to recover the files. You can overwrite the files, or part of them, and you wont recover them correctly.

Check you have deleted file is stored in Recycle Bin. If not then you have to get assistance from third party application. I used Remo Recover application when I lost my crucial file. It worked pretty much for me. I hope this information will help you.

Hey Jordi04, was it possible to recover your deleted files? If yes, which program did you use? I hope everything is fine now.

Hm, for the future it could be safe to make backup-copies (not only from the trade-history, from all important files). Store it on usb-sticks (better use 2 sticks instead of only one, just in case on gets damaged, read/write errors etc.), or burn it on cd/dvd, online storage (cloud) or whatever

If you want to password-protect your files, you may use truecrypt ( http://www.truecrypt.org/ ).

You could try the data recovery from http://www.any-data-recovery.com this may be able to recover some of the files you have deleted.
